MUSIAD GENERAL PRESIDENT MAHMUT ASMALI: “WE HOPE UGIK’23 WILL MAKE SERIOUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR COUNTRY’S ECONOMY”
Mahmut Asmalı, President of MUSIAD, said, “Young MUSIAD; It is a working platform created by young people who have the spirit of business people, aim to develop, and aim to rise to the top in the business world within the body of MUSIAD. Young MUSIAD set out in 2002 with the idea of achieving unity in the business world and continues its efforts to serve our youth, our most important wealth.
Actually, MUSIAD is a youth movement. Because, for MUSIAD, which was founded 33 years ago by believing young people, the entrepreneurial abilities and entrepreneurial courage of young business people are the most important issue today as it was yesterday.” Asmalı stated that MUSIAD has reached a total of 165 branches and contact points in the international arena, and that it is an international non-governmental organization with over 13 thousand members and nearly 60 thousand companies.
Mahmut Asmalı, President of MUSIAD, stated that 5500 people from more than 70 countries have attended the International Young Businessmen Congress (UGİK) so far and that more than 1500 young business people are expected to attend the congress this year. We hope that it will make serious contributions to the economy of our country.”
Asmalı said, “Young MUSIAD makes serious contributions to commercial diplomacy with its international work. In this respect, UGİK draws attention as a growing commercial diplomacy platform with its international aspect. Working like an incubation center and inspiring new entrepreneurs, UGİK also draws attention as an initiative that gives priority to the environmentally friendly economy approach, where new brands will be born.
I would like to express that we develop new cooperation models with universities at every opportunity in order to convey the vision and experience of MUSIAD to young entrepreneurs and that we attach importance to meeting with our fellow students. Most recently, we met with our university students in Gebze and Kayseri, shared our experiences, and discussed our vision of the Century of Turkey, the dynamics of the economy and trade. This year, we are planning to implement commercial diplomacy workshops in order to increase and strengthen MUSIAD’s interaction with universities and students. In this way, we aim to bring new entrepreneurs to our business world and to focus especially on knowledge production.” he said.
YUNUS FURKAN AKBAL: “OUR PURPOSE IS TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS TO BLOCKED POINTS”
Young MUSIAD President Yunus Furkan AKBAL, at the press conference, “As Genç MUSIAD, it has been almost a quarter of a century since we said ‘We exist too’ on the way to work with all our efforts for Turkey and our society. Today, we have become a global youth platform that increases its organizational structure day by day, with 57 representatives in Turkey and 32 representatives in the world.”
Yunus Furkan Akbal, who stated that they are proud of being a global youth platform that is open to innovative ideas, takes innovative steps, closely follows today’s technology and also works to shape the future, said: we are located. So much so that we exist in many different parts of the world such as China, Azerbaijan, Portugal, France and Germany. As Genç MUSIAD, we ensure that second generation representatives of companies in Anatolia meet with international investors. On the other hand, we transfer the know-how of Genç MUSIAD to countries whose commercial capacity has not reached the desired level. We are among the institutions that have become an authority in the world in this field.”
“OUR GOAL IS TO REACH THE BUSINESS WORLD TO A NEW STAGE”
Yunus Furkan Akbal stated that Genç MUSIAD is working with UGIK to integrate the stakeholders of the global business ecosystem with innovations and to develop leadership insights in the field they operate in. Our program is a strategy launch that inspires in this respect and brings innovations to the business world.”
Yunus Furkan Akbal stated that they categorized the business world as three stages and they believed that the third stage should be handled strongly. Yunus Furkan Akbal said the following about the stages: “We describe the first stage as the beginning. People who have an idea for the business world and believe in it, take action somehow.
After the first step, many business people say goodbye to the adventure or think that the comfort zone is the final destination on this path, which has its own stages such as putting the idea into concrete data, obtaining the right financial resources for this, and creating a network. The vast majority of domestic and international breakthroughs come to this stage and refuse to even knock on the door, let alone pass it. And in the third and final stage, we say ‘get out of that door and start’.
This door is the threshold where rational strategies are created and finally opened to the world as the right brand. Although there are many opportunities that cannot be noticed in our country, the number of brands that have been successful, have continued on their way or have managed to open their potential to the world is far from our potential. The business world is a dynamic process that is always evolving and changing.
This process begins a long road that continues up to the threshold of opening up to the world. However, the end of that road is actually an end for new beginnings. This period, when there is no word to be said about entrepreneurship in the business world, no definition to be made, now represents an end where a new beginning should be made. With this approach, we will hold UGİK’23, the 8th of which will be held on February 23, with the motto of ‘The End of the Beginning’.”
Yunus Furkan Akbal, who said that they aim to inspire thousands of business people who are stuck in the business world, said, “Now we are opening the door to a new beginning. Many doors have been opened on a global scale, such as the removal of borders in trade market areas and the transformation of names into personal brands. At UGİK’23, we are looking for ways to pass through that door that opens to the world.”
GENÇ MÜSİAD RESETS CARBON EMISSIONS AT UGİK’23
Yunus Furkan Akbal also mentioned that UGİK’23 is a Carbon-0 (zero) event and said: “What we need to do first for a sustainable world is to have awareness. Because whatever you do, we cannot talk about the future or the end of the beginning in a world where no action has been taken for sustainability. As Genç MUSIAD, we are carrying out the first phase of this here today. We will ensure that our press launch is carbon zero by purchasing the I-REC certificate for each of us in order to neutralize the carbon footprints created by all our participants who attended our press launch today.”
Young MUSIAD President Yunus Furkan Akbal, who also touched on what awaits the participants at UGİK’23 at the press conference, said that the “No Tie Entry” panel will welcome the participants at the entrance of the program in order to emphasize the perception of business people of the new age, which is free from classic business people patterns. Yunus Furkan Akbal stated that the ties of the guests participating with a tie will be taken and hung on the board in the program area and continued as follows:
“In the entrepreneurship tunnel, which will reflect the concept of our program, we will enable the participants to understand how entrepreneurial spirit they are by experiencing them through these various tests. With the Where is the key to the safe event, we will ask the participants to find the correct key to open the locked safe placed in the area. We will be waiting for our participants with many different experience areas such as 180 degree souvenir photography area and brand building areas.”
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT UGİK’23
At UGİK’23, which gives an important place to artificial intelligence, which is the focal point of today’s technology, in its program, a digital exhibition of visuals that will be created entirely with artificial intelligence will be presented to the taste of the participants.
Many names from Turkey’s top executives to international speakers will take part in the sessions, which are determined as five main topics (brand, network, finance, sustainability and the end of the beginning for Turkey).
