<div><br/></div><div>Boğaziçi University Technology Transfer Office's main goal is to convert business ideas into real startups with the help of TUBITAK Dream Bigg programme. They provide a high range of industrial network, professional mentorships, funding opportunities and coworking spaces provided by TTO's partner Bright Incubation Center. They do not only help social innovations but also student's high tech projects. They help getting patent and licence processes to BOUN students who own a business idea. They offer education on setting up a company and funding opportunities, and work with academicians and students who'll set up a company.</div><div><br/></div>

=== FACILITATING UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION ===

<div><br/></div><div>Boğaziçi University is in deep connection with the biggest startups in entrepreneurship ecosystem. Other than funding opportunities of TTO, because of the network of Bright, crowdfunding is a common method in Boğaziçi University. Prominent business people of Turkey who are BOUN graduates, always replies when a startup needs funding. It may not seem sustainable but far now it's working properly. Bright Entrepreneurship Center is now developing new and more systematic funding ways for startups. There is also another channel which connects industry and school, BUMED. It is Boğaziçi University Alumni Society which brings students and alumnis together for several purposes which are mentorship, funding etc.</div><div><br/></div>

=== ENGAGING WITH REGIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ===

<div><br/></div><div>Boğaziçi University doesn't have a direct effort of engaging local economic development. Indirectly speaking, the university has its incubation center, teknopark and technology transfer office. Those departments can be thought as such efforts.</div><div><br/></div>
