Kocaeli G3 Forum Entrepreneurship Summit, November 18, 2025

Dear Members,

The G3 Forum Entrepreneurship Summit, organized under the coordination of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB), Habitat Association, and GEN Türkiye, will be held this year with the contributions of the Kocaeli Governorship, Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality, and Ziraat Bank, hosted by Kocaeli Chamber of Industry, Kocaeli Chamber of Commerce, Gebze Chamber of Commerce, and Körfez Chamber of Commerce under the theme "The Economy of Production in the Age of Intelligence" on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at the Kocaeli International Congress Center. During the event, leading representatives from the entrepreneurship, civil society, and digital transformation spheres will share their experiences, while expert entrepreneurs in their fields will exchange insights with participants; entrepreneurship policies and the accelerator and supportive actors of the entrepreneurship ecosystem will be examined.

As part of the summit, an Open House Meeting will be held where GEN Türkiye members and mentors will meet with entrepreneurs selected from applications who have advanced their ventures to a certain level. The purpose of the Open House Meeting is to enable entrepreneurs to directly ask questions about their ventures to GEN Türkiye members and entrepreneurial mentors and receive valuable feedback to develop their initiatives. The Startup Huddle program will be featured for the first time this year within the scope of the G3 Forum Entrepreneurship Summit.

The aim of the program is to foster the development of local entrepreneurs and strengthen the entrepreneurship ecosystem. Startup Huddle, which will empower the local entrepreneurial community and create an environment for ventures to thrive, will enable early-stage entrepreneurs to present their ideas and startups and receive feedback on how they can be improved. Additionally, a consultation meeting will be held between 10:30 and 12:00 under the chairmanship of TOBB Young Entrepreneurs Council President Turgut Konukoğlu with TOBB Young Entrepreneurs Council Provincial Presidents.

In this context, we kindly request that the TOBB Provincial YEC / Provincial YEC Executive Committee Chairs and Members, for whom you serve as Coordinator, complete their online registration at https://tobb.org.tr/Sayfalar/Detay.php?rid=15074&lst=Haberler and ensure their participation in the "Kocaeli G3 Forum Entrepreneurship Summit," which will be attended by our Union President, Mr. M.
