IUE Rector Prof. Murat Aşkar drew attention to the fact that Izmir University of Economics won the title of the university that made the most entrepreneur project applications every year since 2013 that the event was started to be held. Prof. Dr. Aşkar said, “Our university is a higher education institution that raises entrepreneurs. Each year the competition was held, our university won the Entrepreneurship Flag 4 times in a row and we waved it on our campus. We won the Entrepreneurship Flag in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2018. This year, with the changing format of the competition, we became the university that developed the most entrepreneurial projects. I would like to thank our academics who raise our students as entrepreneurs and innovators. As a university, we will always continue to support our youth and support them in realizing the projects they dream of.”
