Istanbul also needs to research its deserved place all over the world, as an entrepreneurship centre.”

Daglioglu was quick to add that Turkey has a highly developed and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem and said that higher returns were to be expected due to the international funds which have been invested in the country in recent years and will continue to do so over the next five years and beyond.
