The "Entrepreneurship Summits" held simultaneously in 81 provinces across Turkey are bringing a new vision to public libraries. The project, implemented in collaboration with the General Directorate of Libraries and Publications of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, transforms libraries from mere places for reading books into centers of information, innovation, and development.
"WE ARE CARRYING IT TO EVERY CORNER OF ANATOLIA"
İbrahim Anıl Taşdemir, President of the Association of Entrepreneurs and Managers, stated that the summits offer a great opportunity for young people all over Anatolia. Taşdemir said, "Our citizens have the chance to experience the opportunities provided by our government in a concrete way. We are not limiting the entrepreneurial ecosystem to just big cities; we are carrying it to every corner of Anatolia."
"LIBRARIES ARE BECOMING CENTERS WHERE CAREER PLANNING CAN BE DONE"
Through the conferences and workshops organized as part of the summits, young people are provided with basic information about entrepreneurship. Participants have the chance to develop their business ideas under the guidance of expert mentors. Taşdemir emphasized that this transformation contributes not only to individual careers but also to the local economy: "We are creating a ground for the development of ideas that will revitalize the local economy. Libraries are now becoming centers where career planning can be done and business ideas can sprout."
"CONTRIBUTION TO THE DYNAMISM OF CITIES"
Stating that the events also give momentum to the social and economic structure of cities, Taşdemir said, "We are supporting the career journeys of our young people while also contributing to the dynamism of local tradesmen and the business world. We are positioning public libraries as the innovation and entrepreneurship centers of the future."
The summit series, covering 81 provinces, is now preparing to meet with entrepreneurs in Van and Diyarbakır. Taşdemir invited all citizens to the highly attended programs, stating that these meetings are of great importance for regional development and strengthening the entrepreneurial spirit.
