Investment Frenzy in Technology Startups in Turkey

The President of the Presidency Investment and Finance Office Ahmet Burak Dağlıoğlu announced at the Halkbank Gençİz'25 Summit that over 5 billion dollars have been invested in technology startups in Turkey in the post-pandemic period.

Emergence of Entrepreneurs on the Global Stage

At the summit organized at the Istanbul Congress Center with the theme "Human 5.0 - The Future for Humanity," Dağlıoğlu emphasized that they participate in international events as an office, stating that they aim to facilitate the process for entrepreneurs to secure investments. In this context, he mentioned that they transport entrepreneurs to international organizations to provide them with the opportunity to track their global competitors.

Web Platform Eases Access to Capital

Addressing young entrepreneurs, Dağlıoğlu urged them to establish communication with the office. He also announced that they have developed a web platform to facilitate entrepreneurs' access to capital. The platform, accessible at startinturkiye.gov.tr, contains information about the investment areas and strategies of hundreds of fund managers.

Entrepreneurship Encouraged with Tax Advantages

Dağlıoğlu stated that companies operating in technoparks benefit from tax advantages and mentioned that there are no obligations such as income tax and capital gains tax. This situation makes Turkey an attractive country for technology entrepreneurs.

New Opportunities for Fintech Investments

Emphasis on Supporting Entrepreneurs

Dağlıoğlu highlighted the need to support entrepreneurs at every stage, particularly emphasizing the importance of financing in the early stages. The event's host, Halkbank, will continue to stand by and support entrepreneurs.
