For the first time in Turkey, a “University Entrepreneurship and Innovation Index” has been compiled and announced at a press conference by Nihat Ergün, the Minister of Science, Industry and Technology. Sabancı University ranks first among the most entrepreneurial and innovative universities in Turkey.
The top 5 of the index are, according to rank, Sabancı University, Middle East Technical University, İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, Özyeğin University, and Istanbul Technical University.
Nihat Ergün noted that universities with a faculty of fewer than 50 members were not included in the ranking. Therefore, the ranking includes only 126 of the 168 universities in Turkey.
The “University Entrepreneurship and Innovation Index” includes 5 aspects, namely scientific and technological research competence, intellectual property pool, cooperation and interaction, culture of entrepreneurship and innovation, and economic contribution and commercialization.
