=== ENCOURAGING FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP ===
<div><br/></div><div>Faculty members of our university are most likely to be supportive on having entrepreneurial mind and being innovative as seen that most of the successful entrepreneurs in the entrepreneurship ecosystem are from Boğaziçi University. Although the opportunities of the school on entrepreneurship is questionable, every year lots of student startups are built. There are several courses on entrepreneurship and innovation in certain departments but students from all departments are accepted via a consent from instructor. Bright Entrepreneurship & Innovation Incubation Center is built in 2016 and every year new startups join the center. </div>
