MÜSİAD, which pursues its work with the ideal of our country's development and of being a country that is effective in its region and respected on a global scale, continues its activities in the “Academia, Industry and Public” triangle without slowing down. In line with this understanding, MÜSİAD, which has signed cooperation protocols with Marmara University, Ege University, Samsun 19 Mayıs University, Düzce University, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Vakıf University, Medipol University, İstanbul Sabahattin Zaim University and the Federation of International Student Associations (UDEF), has most recently entered into cooperation with TÜRGEV, one of Türkiye's leading foundations.

Under the agreement, cooperation is envisaged on matters such as organizing student gatherings, bringing international students to universities in Türkiye, and developing joint projects in the scientific, cultural, academic and social fields.

Under the protocol, it is also envisaged that students referred by TÜRGEV will be provided with internship and employment opportunities at MÜSİAD member companies, that TÜRGEV students and Young MÜSİAD members will be invited to the events held by the parties, and that joint events will be organized.

“Economic Development Is Possible with Educated, Ethical People Who Share the Concerns of Their Country”

Speaking after the signing ceremony held at the MÜSİAD Head Office, MÜSİAD President Abdurrahman Kaan expressed his pleasure at entering into cooperation, as MÜSİAD, with an institution such as TÜRGEV, which has provided great added value to our country in recent years and has pioneered the education of thousands of students.

Stating that economic development is possible with educated, ethical people who share the concerns of their country, Kaan said that in this vein TÜRGEV is fulfilling a great mission. Pointing out that TÜRGEV gathers under a single ideal the generations whose minds are sought to be confused through various propaganda and campaigns, Kaan noted that as MÜSİAD they would try to support TÜRGEV's meaningful work at all times and in all circumstances. Emphasizing that gaining experience in business life is essential for students' personal development, Kaan stated that as MÜSİAD business people their doors are always open to the students educated at TÜRGEV. Saying that the cooperation protocol is an important step towards undertaking larger events in the future, Kaan concluded his remarks by saying that they would continue to work together for a strong Türkiye, undaunted and unbroken.
