The talk titled “Social impact entrepreneurship” will be held in English and will take place in Galata Hall at 18:00. We will touch upon current and important issues related to Başak Sucuko’s entrepreneurial journey and social entrepreneurship.
We plan to organize six talks (face-to-face and online) throughout the academic year with founders and senior company managers from various industries. Students participating in 4 out of 6 talks will receive a certificate, among other learning and development opportunities. (International students will be eligible to receive the certificates when participating in at least three Talks in English.)
