The overall objective to be achieved through the project is to support and disseminate entrepreneurship — a fundamental factor in our country's economic development and transition to a value-added production structure — and to enable the establishment of successful businesses.

Through the software to be developed within the scope of our project, the aim is to establish collaborations that will enable the sharing of know-how and experience among entrepreneurs, business owners and researchers who register on the platform in search of mentoring and funding, and that will lay the groundwork for capacity-building and knowledge-transfer activities.

The aim is to establish platforms that will enable the creation of mentor pools in order to build, strengthen and professionalise the entrepreneur–mentor relationship; to create platforms and structures that will ensure the formation and sustainability of thematic mentor pools; and to deliver programmes in which entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized enterprises, universities and technology development zone companies located in Istanbul can work together and receive consultancy support from experienced company executives, experts and academics.
