'Entrepreneurship and Innovation Summit' Concludes at SAÜ

The 'Entrepreneurship and Innovation Summit,' organised by Sakarya University's Human Resources and Career Society, has concluded.

M3 Works founder Erdem Genç, Al Baraka Business Excellence Innovation Deputy Manager Kübra Odabaş Taşlı, Zeplin Car General Manager Hakan Sevim, and Sakarya TEKNOKENT Entrepreneurship and Innovation Unit Coordinator Gökhan Yüce spoke at the two-day 'Entrepreneurship and Innovation Summit,' held at Sakarya University's Faculty of Law, in the Sabahattin Zaim Conference Hall. M3 Works founder Erdem Genç advised, 'Life presents you with opportunities as it flows by. Reaching out and taking them is up to you. Have an area of expertise, and expand only within that area.' Advising students not to hesitate to act on a good idea once they find one, Genç said, 'You have to keep coming up with new, good ideas anyway. You need to use your ideas before their time runs out.' Al Baraka Business Excellence Innovation Deputy Manager Kübra Odabaş Taşlı stressed that once you step into professional life, a diploma matters far less than investments made for the future. Touching on the importance of learning a foreign language, Taşlı said, 'Really care about your work. Don't see it merely as a source of income — that will change your whole outlook on life. You should think globally at all times, not locally.' Zeplin Car General Manager Hakan Sevim, in his remarks, advised students to learn a foreign language, saying that spending time abroad specifically to learn one would be especially useful for them.

Sakarya TEKNOKENT Entrepreneurship and Innovation Unit Coordinator Gökhan Yüce, for his part, gave students information about ADAPTTO in his presentation. Focusing on how to bring new ideas to entrepreneurship, Yüce shared with students what to pay attention to when entering the field of entrepreneurship.
