Established with the aim of transforming İzmir into an international innovation and entrepreneurship city, the 'İzQ Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center' gave its first sprout. IzQ laid the groundwork for the signing of the first professional agreement in the field of bringing the business world and entrepreneurs together, which is among its goals. PayTR, located in the IzQ Innovation Center, offering alternative payment solutions to more than 60 thousand businesses, and Appricot Software Agency, operating under the roof of IzQ Entrepreneurship Center, will collaborate for a mobile application for the energy sector.
İzQ Entrepreneurship, İnovasyon Danışmanlık A.Ş. was established in partnership with the TR İzmir Governor's Office, İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, İzmir Chamber of Commerce, Aegean Region Chamber of Industry, İzmir Commodity Exchange, Aegean Exporters' Associations, Aegean Young Business People Association, Aegean Industrialists and Business People Association. Operating under the roof of IzQ Entrepreneurship and Innovation center managed by the company, Appricot Software Agency has developed an application for the energy sector. He wanted to meet PayTR, which operates in the IzQ Innovation Center, in order to evaluate the opportunities related to the payment systems infrastructure of this project, where a lot of information about the sector can be accessed from a single platform. The two teams, acquainted with the initiatives of the center, decided to continue on their way together.
ÖZGENER: “OUR DREAM REALIZED”
One of the most important focal points that makes the IzQ project different; İzmir Chamber of Commerce and İzQ Chairman of the Board Mahmut Özgener stated that their aim is to mediate the meeting of entrepreneurs and the business world, and said, “Our dream at İzQ is; as in the world's most innovative cities; business world and entrepreneurs were interacting. In other words, instead of the 'entrepreneur should produce a project first and then call the investor' model, there is a model of 'the entrepreneur should develop his project together with the business world, overcome existing problems and problems with experienced companies and establish partnerships with them'. In this model, both sides will win. Thanks to the cooperation, companies will be able to enter different markets more easily, and they will also have the opportunity to benefit from talents and resources that complement each other. We are very happy that this is the first example of this happening.”
