STUDENT PRIORITIES COHORT 2020
STRATEGY #1: TRAINING MORE ENTREPRENEURS
Project: Training BUnnovation
Person in Charge: Osman Oğuz Nuhoğlu
Project Details
In our school, there is a lack of theoretical education on innovation and entrepreneurship.
This project aims to improve students' knowledge of innovation and entrepreneurship. There will be classes (seminars) every week. Different instructors from different fields will teach a lesson about that week's topic. For example, a professor of psychology will explain the mindset of an entrepreneur or there will be an affective presentation conference from the human resources department.
We will also create a community from this program. This program may be integrated with another program in our school (Fire Up program). That is, this program may be the prerequisite of Fire Up program. This program will require a selection of students because there are a lot of students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation in Boğaziçi University.
STRATEGY #2: IMPROVING SOCIAL INOVATION ECOSYSTEM
Project: BUmpact
Person in Charge: Zişan Özdemir
Project Details
Social innovation is a wide range concept which covers the environmental, economic and social topics and is one of the concepts thrown out of focus in our university. There is no unity at that point, entities are working separately and students are not informed and involved enough.
BUmpact is an social innovation community which brings the relevant entities and interested students and faculty members together. It's a medium for those to brainstorm and collaborate. The aim is also to make people aware and make them motivated to take part in solving global issues. Within the scope of BUmpact, there will be also sub-communities (like working groups) focusing on different SDG groups.
- Poverty Eradication
- Food Security / Sustainable Agriculture
- Water and Sanitation
- Employment, Decent Work and Social Protection
- Youth and Education
- Health and Population Dynamics
- Sustained and Inclusive Economic Growth
- Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change (e.g.Renewable energy, responsible consumption and production)

STUDENT PRIORITIES COHORT 2019
STRATEGY #1: IMPROVING SOCIAL INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
Project: Bright Pitching Day
Person in Charge: Berkay Kani
Project Details
One of the biggest problems of the students in our school is to hesitate to express their ideas. This is because people despise them or steal their ideas. As people with the entrepreneurship mindset, we believe that sharing will always strengthen ideas.
I designed the Pitching Day event for this. There will be 5 teams, audince and 3 successful juries. We will share an application form for selection of teams using our communication channels. For the event, 3 successful startup co-founders will be contacted and asked to be a jury. The event will be advertised for participants from our communication channels. The event will be in the center's office on our main campus. There will be a 30-minute networking session before the event starts. Here, the owners, the participants and the juries will have the chance to meet. Idea owners will write the type of people they need on a whiteboard. There will be a 5 minute presentation and 5 minute question and answer session in front of the juries. After the presentations are over, participants will be able to talk to them to join their teams.
We will provide office and entrepreneurship training to the 2 winning teams.
STRATEGY #2: CREATING FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELECTED STARTUPS
Project: Bright Demo Day
Person in Charge: Berkay Kani
Project Details
Entrepreneurs often face financial problems while expanding their startups. In some times, things cannot be done and solved without money.
Teams selected to work in our incubation center are also experiencing this problem. So I designed the Bright Demo Day event to solve the investment problem of these startups. At this event, there will be teams who selected in Pitching Day and who completed entrepreneurship training in our incubation center. Using the network of Entrepreneurship Center, 3 seed investors will be contacted and offered to be a jury in the event. Then 5 teams will be selected to make presentations in front of the investors. The teams will tell the investors their products, ask for a certain amount of investment and try to convince the investors to make this investment. In fact, the event is similar to the Shark Tank event. Teams that can convince investors will receive investment and will have the opportunity to grow their startups further.
STRATEGY #3: TRAINING MORE ENTREPRENEURS
Project: Bright Experience
Person in Charge: Fatih Gözükara
Project Details
There is too much event on entrepreneurship but not enough entrepreneurs. In order to train more entrepreneurs, we need to work more to the point than general events. For this, we have designed an experience-oriented, beginning-to-end process that will have a good story for all of us at the end of the day.
