As GEN Türkiye, we successfully organized the Entrepreneurship World Cup Türkiye Final, where innovative ideas and sustainable ideas were presented.

We hosted an exciting event with 8 entrepreneurs who were evaluated among all applications and selected as finalists. Entrepreneurs from all over Türkiye competed for the chance to represent our country in the global final and to win a total of 300 thousand TL cash prizes and various in-kind prizes in the Türkiye Final.

The jury members included experts in their fields such as Nevzat Aydın, Emine Erdem, Gökçe Kabatepe, Hilmi Aydın, Civan Sözkesen, and Tal Garih.

The ‘’Laska’’ team, which won first place, stands out with their environmentally friendly and sustainable production approach. With the high technology they have developed, they recycle waste tires into the economy and produce alternative products to fossil fuels such as carbon black and renewable fuels. Laska's solution contributes to 9 of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals. 

Runner-up ‘’Move On’’ develops AI-based technologies for more sustainable and traceable agriculture with a team of farmers and engineers. The Move On team received a free one-year membership to Kolektif House and a place in the EWC 250.

As GEN Türkiye, we continue to contribute to the entrepreneurship ecosystem of our country and wish our teams success in competing in the global final.
