The Entrepreneurship Competition, held in cooperation with Üsküdar University BrainPark Technology Transfer Office, offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to get one step closer to their dreams. The Startup Idea competition is an important platform supporting entrepreneurs with innovative ideas to bring their projects to life. Competitors showcase their creativity and talents, presenting their unique projects to experienced entrepreneurs on the jury, and Üsküdar University supports entrepreneurs in turning their dreams into reality.
A competition where dreams come true
The Startup Idea competition, supported by Üsküdar University BrainPark Technology Transfer Office, is organized to support ventures and entrepreneurs. The competition is evaluated based on projects being assessed by professionals and becoming profitable with maximum efficiency in the shortest possible time. Entrepreneurs who qualify to participate in the competition attend a 48-hour camp where they learn everything they need to know in summary and receive training.
The difference of the competition: Projects are championed from the initial stage to the investment phase
Meltem Bayraktar, Project Manager of Üsküdar University ARGEYEP (R&D and Innovation Policies Directorate), stated, "In this competition, we collaborate with Collective İdea, which undertakes important tasks for the development of projects and their integration into commercial life. Collective Idea holds a special place in Turkey as one of the pioneers of the entrepreneurship movement. Winning projects are championed until they become profitable or receive investment. Unlike other competitions, this competition focuses on the development of projects from their initial stage and aims to attract investment."
We will offer many opportunities to our entrepreneurs participating in the competition
Bayraktar concluded, "We will offer many opportunities to our entrepreneurs participating in the competition. The owners of the winning projects will benefit not only from awards but also from supporters they will collaborate with, such as Üsküdar University. Projects that pass the first stage of the Startup Idea Competition and qualify for support will be included in a support program for their development processes starting from April 30, 2023, and by announcing the results to the public, we will inspire other entrepreneurs."
