Uludağ Textile Exporters Association (UTİB) and Uludağ Ready-Made Clothing and Apparel Exporters Association (UHKİB); finalized online training for companies within the scope of the Mini-MBA Program, which was carried out in order to increase Turkey's competitiveness in the textile and ready-made clothing sector and to develop the culture of innovation. The 8-week online training program for the participants, which was conducted under the mentorship of TechXtile Program Coordinator Ufuk Batum, ended with the presentations delivered by the companies in groups.
''Turkey's Entrepreneurship Ecosystem is Advancing with R&D Centers and Start-UP Collaborations''
Pointing out the importance of joint work between R&D centers and Start-UPs, Program Coordinator Ufuk Batum said, “We exchanged ideas in order to develop the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Turkey. The data we collected from different sectors guided us on the strategies we could implement in the future. This diversity, which comes with each company’s own way of doing business, culture and character made a positive impact on the information exchange in education.’’
"Innovative Awareness Is Increasing"
While stating that the program aims to develop innovative awareness through individuals and institutions, Batum said, “Within the scope of the studies carried out for the development of R&D, innovation and design in our country, our efforts to raise awareness continue by supporting entrepreneurs and businesses alike that value R&D and innovation in the sector with events such as TechXtile Innovation League. In this regard, I think that the educational journey which we completed with the Mini MBA Program for companies and individuals has created huge awareness in increasing innovation-based exports and forming this culture in various institutions. I would like to thank all the participants and the UTİB-UHKİB family whom added value to the program by compiling their efforts.”
