- Young population advantage of Turkey

Stating that G3 Forum is carried forward according to the needs of the entrepreneurship ecosystem every year, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “To this end, we’ve established the TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council in 2007 and the TOBB Young Entrepreneurs Council in 2009. We’ve brought together entrepreneurs and investors from 63 countries to meet with our young entrepreneurs. The only way to enable entrepreneurship to progress in our country is to raise awareness to it. We have an immense advantage with our young population. If we are able to increase the number of our entrepreneurs we can utilize our young population to achieve prosperity. That is why it is imperative that entrepreneurship culture is proliferated throughout Anatolia.”
