Sabancı University becomes the representative of the MY-WAY Project in Turkey

Sabancı University Entrepreneurship Council (SUGK) became the Turkish representative of the MY-WAY Project, an initiative that is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program and began on January 1, 2015.

MY-WAY is a two-year long project started on 1st of January 2015 and co-funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The MY-WAY project aims at enhancing and improving the collaboration and efforts of web entrepreneurship initiatives (hubs, projects, accelerator networks, contests, etc.), web/business experts (accelerators, mentors, etc.), educational actors (business teachers and trainers) and the young adults as the final beneficiaries (through student networks, their alumni and student entrepreneurship centres).  

The MY-WAY project will increase the visibility and impact of the web entrepreneurship initiatives and services by actively engaging student networks and support centres and connecting them with business networks within the web entrepreneurship ecosystem. The social network of young adults across Europe will enable a wide spread of information, discovery of synergies and linkages between the actors and their services. It will also act as a multiplier, successfully representing the targeted young adults.  The following main results will be achieved:

●    MY-WAY will map the web entrepreneurial ecosystem;
●    Two stakeholder discussions will be organised in Brussels in October and December 2015;
●    Four action plans will be developed in four countries (Budapest, Zaragoza, London and Istanbul) for the sustainable enhancement and harmonisation of the support offered by the student enterprise centres and networks for targeted young adults;
●    Four Student Enterprise Conferences will be organised in 2016;
●    2016’da dört Öğrenci Girişim Konferansı düzenlenecek;
●    Signed agreements between student support centres and web entrepreneurship support providers in different European countries will strengthen sustainability;
●    MY-WAY will run the European Disruptors’ Network’s Secretariat.

Under the same call in Horizon 2020, a total number of ten projects have received funding. They will work together in order to support the implementation of the Startup Europe Initiative, which aims at boosting innovation, entrepreneurship and the growth of start-ups and thus injecting dynamism into the economy and society.

The MY-WAY consortium is composed of ten partners, from seven different countries, representing the main actors of the web entrepreneurship ecosystem. Sabanci University represents Turkey in this project.  The project is coordinated by Europa Media Non-profit Ltd. (HU). The project partners are: London Association of Enterprise Agencies Ltd. - Capital Enterprise (UK), H-Farm Italia (IT), AEGEE Student Network (BE), NACUE - National Association of College and University Entrepreneurs (UK), Bar-Ilan University (IL), Sabanci University (TR), EUCLID Network (UK), YES - European Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs (BE) and Menlo Media - http://www.eu-startups.com/ (DE).

Deloitte Turkey Becomes the Strategic Training Partner of the Sabancı University Data Analytics Program

Designed by Sabancı University to develop individuals equipped with the competencies needed to manage "big data," the Data Analytics Graduate Program will receive Deloitte's trainers and support in joint projects enabled with the practical perspective and subject matter expertise needed in business.

Business analytics is used for a variety of purposes from operational efficiency to risk management, increasing marketing investment returns, and innovation strategies linked to the management of big data. Companies investing in business analytics to increase performance and make strategic decisions gain significant advantages over competition in terms of growth rate and costs. This is why corporations need the workforce who knows business analytics and can manage big data. 

Responding to this business need, Deloitte Turkey and Sabancı University started a strategic cooperation. Deloitte Turkey will support the Non-Dissertation Graduate Program in Data Analytics in a number of aspects from helping design the curriculum to providing trainers for the program, enabling students to learn methods and experiences they may apply in real-life situations.  

Güneş Süsler

Deloitte Turkey Business Analytics Services Leader Güneş Süsler said the following: "The digital world doubles in size every two years. Between 2013 and 2020, the digital world is expected to expand by a factor of 10, from 4.4 trillion gigabytes to 44 trillion gigabytes. Although 60% of the digital data in the world is currently being generated by developed countries, this will have reversed by 2020, when the majority will be generated by emerging markets. This is a great opportunity for Turkey and Turkish industries and businesses which compete globally. Businesses that have the capability to analyze data generated within and outside the organization, and can create the insights and forecasts needed to make the right decisions towards strategic and operational objectives will be placed above the competition. However, businesses need to be able to merge data analytics competencies with industrial and functional perspective to move in this direction. The Sabancı University and Deloitte partnership was initiated to respond to this need. As Deloitte, we hope to provide the analytical perspective we developed to meet the business needs of various sectors and disciplines to this joint program.”

H. Sait Ölmez

Sabancı University Data Analytics Graduate Program Director H. Sait Ölmez had the following to say:

"We launched the Data Analytics Graduate Program as part of the professional graduate programs in the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, and designed the program to supply the workforce needed to create new business models through data analytics and modeling, and add value to business processes. We were meticulous in our design of curriculum and syllabi to ensure that our participants achieve the highest technical competency. We are aware that the ideal profile in this field is interdisciplinary in nature and is equipped with technical proficiency as well as knowledge about the current applications, methods used and approaches adopted in business today. We believe that our partnership with Deloitte will bring an industrial perspective to the content of the program, and will provide field experience to our students."

Curriculum to meet business needs

Experts from Turkish and global Deloitte offices will be featured as guest lecturers to create an environment where examples, best practices and experiences in real-life situations are shared. Deloitte Turkey will assist in shaping the program curriculum in a way that will answer business needs, and work with students to guide them in the right direction. Deloitte Turkey and Sabancı University will also design and implement joint research projects in data analytics. 

25 students are expected to be admitted every year

The program began in the fall semester of the 2014-2015 academic year with 24 students, and 25 students are planned to be admitted every year. There is great demand for the program in various sectors from financial services to technology. The range of sectors represented in the program will be expanded next year with retail, public and energy sectors where competitive and performance gains may be achieved. 

An innovative environment for students

Students will be provided an innovative environment through the Deloitte Values House Data Analytics Lab designed to generate innovative solutions and shape ideas where students may meet Deloitte experts for project work, discussions and project presentations.

“Turkey and Somalia: Making Aid Work for Peace” report revealed

Sabancı University Istanbul Policy Center (IPC) and SaferWorld presented their joint report titled “Turkey and Somalia: Making Aid Work for Peace” at a press conference.


Within the past year, Istanbul Policy Center (IPC) and SaferWorld joined forces to shed light on Turkey’s involvement in Somali relief and development efforts. Interviews and workshops with professionals, academics, NGO staff, and civil society groups were conducted in Turkey, London, Nairobi, and across Somalia. Among the major findings of the research are the practices and methods of Turkish organizations as well as their robust divergence from the traditional donor attitudes vis-à-vis principles on deployment and fieldwork. The two think tanks compiled their findings and policy recommendations in a report entitled “Turkey and Somalia: Making Aid Work for Peace.”

According to the report, the activities of Turkish state agencies and NGOs in Somalia since 2011 have become a hallmark of Turkey's foreign policy and underpinned its global image as an emerging power. The candor and effectiveness of Turkish aid organizations in the Somali context have challenged the conventional thinking and practice in the discourse of humanitarian relief and development assistance. From health care to education, infrastructure construction to the provision of basic services, Turkish engagement in Somalia makes an interesting case not only from a practical but also from a methodological standpoint.

Key findings in the report are: Turkey has become more visible as a global actor in the past decade.  “Humanitarian diplomacy” aids began to focus on nations caught in conflict and strife.

Aid plays a central part in Turkey’s activities in Somalia, and is the foundation of Turkey’s reputation in the country.  Somalia continues to be among the top five countries that receive the most aid from Turkey, and is the largest recipient of aid from Turkish NGOs after Syria.

Foreign aid provided by the Turkish government and NGOs in the region started with emergency relief and evolved into development projects in health, education, utilities and government.  The next step in aid evolution may be an explicit focus on aid that serves the building of peace. 

s experienced by other donors, Somalia was a difficult context for Turkish aid organizations.  Turkish institutions encountered risks related to the inadvertent exacerbation of conflict due to limited knowledge about the dynamics of the conflict, channeling of aid to the war economy, corruption, embezzlement of supplies by political elite, and excessive focus on Mogadishu.

Turkey’s reputation and close interest in Somalia place both the government and NGOs in a strong position to provide aid for peace by focusing on conflict and sensitivity to peace, placing accountable, comprehensive and legitimate politics at the center of government-building while merging these efforts with mediation, conflict resolution and grassroots initiatives. 

Turkey’s experience in Somalia provides important lessons for further improving the concept of humanitarian diplomacy implemented by the Turkish government in foreign policy.

SaferWorld is an independent international organization working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives.  The not-for-profit organization has programs in nearly 20 countries and territories across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. 

The report’s authors Thomas Wheeler (SaferWorld), Onur Sazak (IPC) and Auveen Woods (IPC) gave information about the report in the conference.

Pushmote becomes the first Turkish venture to be accepted to Techstars

Turkey-based Pushmote was accepted to Techstars, the largest venture accelerator program in the United States which receives thousands of submissions every year. This is the first time a Turkish venture receives investment from Techstars.


Founded by Sabancı University graduates Gökay Hamamcı, Tarık Özket, Taha Özket and Pamir Erdem in February 2014, Pushmote aims to grow by providing creative solutions to the location-based analytical data needs of companies.

Started in partnership with Inovent, Turkey's first technology investment company, Pushmote is noteworthy for being among the rare ventures in Turkey that produce high technology products, and develops platforms that enable companies to implement the iBeacon technology.

Techstars supported 502 ventures so far, including DigitalOcean, SendGrid, Keen.io and Conspire, playing a large part in bringing the total value of these companies to USD 42 billion. Recognized as the world's most successful venture accelerator program, Techstars invests in only 10 out of the thousands of companies that apply every year. Pushmote’s success in this competitive environment is tremendously important for the Turkish venture ecosystem. 

The iBeacon technology announced by Apple to merge virtual and real worlds enables smartphones to provide instant, micro location-based content. In other words, iBeacon allows previously blind smartphones to see what is around them. With the advent of the Internet of Things, the iBeacon technology is expected to reach a huge market in the near future. This technology is behind functions like opening a hotel room door without a key, as demonstrated in Apple's introduction of iWatch, which serves as further confirmation.

The scene in 2002's Minority Report starring Tom Cruise where John Anderton is greeted by his name when he enters a shop now becomes reality thanks to mobile telephones and the iBeacon technology.

The technology developed by Pushmote is currently in use at thousands of locations in 54 countries. The SDK and platform provided by Pushmote enables companies that aim to use the iBeacon technology achieve these objectives in an effective way.

United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles Conference


Sabancı University Corporate Governance Forum Director Melsa Ararat was a panelist at the Annual Event of Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) with opening remarks by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and keynote by former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The event was held in New York on March 10 and 11, 2015.

The seventh annual event of Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) was held in New York on March 10 and 11, 2015. The main theme of the event was "Unlimited Potential: Business Partners for Gender Equality" and opening remarks were delivered by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and keynote by former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Also speaking at the conference was Sabancı University School of Management faculty member and Corporate Governance Forum Director Melsa Ararat in the session titled "Exploring New Models for Business, Investing and Networks."

In the opening remarks, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that since its inception in 2010, WEPs has reached more than 910 signatories, becoming a truly global initiative, and spoke about the responsibilities of the private sector.

Hillary Rodham Clinton reminded the audience that 2015 was the 20th anniversary of the inaugural Beijing World Conference on Women, and said that no country was in a position to claim full gender equality despite significant advances in gender equality and enabling women and girls to enojy equal rights, freedoms and opportunities in every aspect of life.

In her presentation, Melsa Ararat discussed the "Domestic Violence against White-Collar Working Women in Turkey: A Call for Business Action" report issued by the Business against Domestic Violence Project implemented by the Sabancı University Corporate Governance Forum. Ararat said that Germany's decision to impose a 30% women quota on on executive boards was a bold step, and continued, "Preventing violence against women will only be possible if women are viewed not as objects but as equal individuals of the society. Companies may lead the change of social norms in favor of women by empowering and giving women authority, bringing them to decision-making positions, paying them the same as men, and making equality a part of the corporate culture. The shortest way to achieving this is imposing quotas for women directors to sit on company boards, as is done by many countries."

Women's Empowerment Principles is a joint initiative by the UN Global Compact and UN Women with more than 910 signatories at CEO level worldwide, and aims to provide a roadmap for businesses to empower women in businesses, markets and the society. The first Turkish signatories of the initiative were Güler Sabancı and Ümit Boyner on behalf of their respective companies in 2011, and there are currently 45 signatories.
