GEN Türkiye at GEC Indiana 2025! 🌍
Bora Caldu, Chair of Executive Commitee of Habitat Association and Board Member of GEN Türkiye, participated as a speaker in two sessions held during the GEC Indiana 2025 organized by GEN Global.
🔹 In the session titled “De-Risking Youth Entrepreneurship: Market-Based Solutions for Sustainable Growth,” co-hosted by YBI, Barkus, ONOW and Habitat Association, the discussion focused on the risks young entrepreneurs face due to limited experience, capital and networks. Bora Caldu highlighted best practices, the distinct support needs of early-stage and growth-stage entrepreneurs, and the tailored support models and capacity-building efforts provided by Habitat Association and GEN Türkiye.
🔹 In the “Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) Summit: Building Stronger National Campaigns” session, campaign leaders from around the world explored strategies to make GEW more inclusive and impactful through community engagement, resource mobilization, media strategies and impact measurement. Bora Caldu shared the success story of GEW 2024 in Türkiye and GEN Türkiye’s vision for GEW 2025 with the global audience.
🎤 Both sessions offered concrete solutions to make youth entrepreneurship more investable, sustainable, and scalable.
We continue to work through global collaborations to empower young entrepreneurs. 🙌
