CLOSING
We believe in TEAM WORK and constantly working on to improve collaboration between sectors, companies and people with different skills.
If we can get sports and technology to better interact and communicate with one another, we believe that many new and promising projects can come to life.
That’s why we believe in TEAM WORK!
Turkey has one of the youngest and vibrant population in Europe. People are very keen on new technologies as much as they are on sport.
Despite massive interest in sport and technology, the number of innovation and startups in this dynamic field is low in Turkey. There are some promising examples but the number of success stories are limited.
The consumers are very interested in sports and technology and spend considerable amount of money. We believe a lack of communication, interaction, information exchange and international partnerships are the reasons why the number of projects are low.
>REACH OUT!
Reach out new markets, ideas, projects and investors!
“Turkey’s performance since 2000 has been impressive. Macroeconomic and fiscal stability were at the heart of its performance, enabling increased employment and incomes, making Turkey an upper-middle-income country.”
Istanbul is an international hub to reach untapped opportunities not only in Turkey but to its wider reach in Caucasus, Central Asia, Middle East and Balkans. Many international corporations has their regional head offices in Istanbul due to proximity, excellent flight connection, talented workforce and strong technological infrastructure.
Sportup is the only event in the region that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, brands, sport and business administrators, athletes and other actors that would like be involved in the field, utilise it more actively and extend its reach.
With Sportup you can expand your network, get inspirational ideas for new projects, share your valuable ideas, and come across new business models.
“Turkey’s growth rate accelerated from 3.2% in 2016 to 5.1% in the first half of 2017, supported by an extensive fiscal stimulus.”
