BrainPark Entrepreneurship and Incubation Center opened its doors to young people to host technology-based ventures in many fields, especially health and behavioral sciences. 

## **Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: “We established the center with our own means”**

Starting his speech by stating that they have been carrying out small-scale works as a pre-incubation center for many years, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “We established the R&D and Innovation Policies Directorate, and then within a year, we launched the Technology Transfer Office under the umbrella of the directorate. While implementing the project, we could not receive support from a relevant public institution; we created the entire infrastructure with both human and technological elements using our own means. Project support units, patent unit, copyright unit, and public information units will operate.”

## **Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: “Universities have 4 functions”**

Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said that universities are not just institutions providing vocational training and continued his words as follows:

“Universities have 4 functions. The first function is to provide education to train professionals. The second function is to conduct research, produce projects, and create new knowledge. Universities contribute to all global advancements through their pioneering work, project generation, and identification of global trends. Universities are at the point where ideas are produced that determine global trends and enable strategy development accordingly. Universities also have the responsibility to predict the future. Within the scope of this responsibility, they need to think about what might happen in 5-10 years and make preparations, acquire patents, and undertake initiatives. Young people should be taught not only technical skills but also 21st-century life skills such as social skills, emotional skills, innovativeness, and entrepreneurship. The third function of universities is to inform society. Social transformation does not occur without mental transformation. Universities have important roles and responsibilities at this point. The fourth function of universities is to transform knowledge into products, technology, and industry. Collaboration is very important in transforming knowledge into industry.”

**Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: “It is necessary to create a climate of possibility for young people”**

Stating that they prepared software with the academics at the university, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “We have software that we define as a project tracking system. Very important projects related to measuring human behavior, which we cannot share details about for now due to confidentiality agreements, are also on the way. Children want to produce projects and are very excited. We also need to create the atmosphere and climate of possibility that future Nobel candidates need. Within that climate of possibility, we can identify areas of interest and progress. The purpose of this incubation center is to create a climate of possibility. I can say that our greatest capital is to work and set our goals. While working, we need to enjoy overcoming obstacles because when a person wants to do something, it doesn't come ready-made. Destiny presents opportunities to people. After striving and taking a position, opportunities come to people. It is necessary to evaluate these opportunities and move forward. Asking for help from destiny means taking the right position at the right time, in the right place, and in the right way.”

**Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: “We were an inspiration for Teknofest”**

Stating that they organized the Science and Idea Festival for the first time in 2013 with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “The point we focused on most at the festival was artificial intelligence. Üsküdar District Governorship also supported the project. The enthusiasm of high school students was worth seeing. We suggested doing this project nationwide, and while waiting for a response, we saw science festivals and then Teknofest across the country. The project idea was actually ours. It was gratifying that it benefited Turkey.”

**Üsküdar District Governor Murat Sefa Demiryürek: “Very good results will emerge from here”**** **

In his speech at the opening ceremony, Üsküdar District Governor Murat Sefa Demiryürek said that as Üsküdar district, they host 35 thousand higher education students in 7 different universities, and 95 thousand secondary and high school students. Stating that this figure is more than the population of some provinces in Anatolia, Demiryürek said, “These universities in our district are valuable universities of our country, and Üsküdar also has a unique feature. Although we are an ancient district in terms of our establishment location, we are one of the historical centers of Istanbul. Our location is not suitable for industry, so there are no industrial organizations. However, the headquarters of the holdings that guide and manage those industrial organizations are located here. Almost all of the large holdings that shape Turkey's economy today are headquartered in Üsküdar, especially concentrated in the Altunizade Nakkaştepe region. We have such an accumulation. We have universities, business people, and corporate structures. This accumulation needs to turn into a synergy. Our esteemed professor and his team are taking the lead. Hopefully, very beneficial and good results will emerge from here. With these feelings and thoughts, I wish everyone the best.”

Üsküdar Üniversitesi Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Muhsin Konuk and R&D and Innovation Policies Director Meltem Bayraktar also delivered speeches at the opening ceremony of BrainPark Entrepreneurship and Incubation Center, which was attended by Üsküdar Üniversitesi Secretary General Selçuk Uysaler, Koçak Farma İlaç ve Kimya Sanayi company’s Chairman of the Board Ender Koçak, representatives from KOSGEB İmes Provincial Directorate, and many entrepreneurs. 

**With the BrainPark Incubation Center;**

At the center, which offers training, entrepreneurship ecosystem meetings, investor relations, mentorship support from successful business people, comfortable working areas, and many other opportunities on the entrepreneurship journey; within the scope of entrepreneurship services, innovative business ideas will be supported in areas such as entrepreneurship training, acceleration camps, mentorship sessions, access to investment networks, preparation for investment processes, support for opening to international markets, and intellectual property management consultancy.
