The summit, which the Independent Industrialists and Businessmen Association (MÜSİAD) launched with the aim of informing business people and preparing them for the future and whose theme this year has been set as "Take Notice", will be held at the Haliç Congress Centre with the participation of important domestic and foreign guests.
An information meeting was held for the 2021 summit of MÜSİAD Visionary, which sets out from the idea that "What is needed in order to change a person is to change their awareness" and is organized once every 2 years.
Speaking at the meeting, MÜSİAD President Mahmut Asmalı stated that they are trying to differentiate the framework of Visionary'21 in line with the targets they have set, and said that their greatest aim here is "actions oriented towards benefit".
Expressing that Visionary is held with the aim of informing business people in Türkiye, preparing them for the future and helping them develop trust-focused business connections, Asmalı said, "Our program, organized with the aim of Türkiye's development, of its becoming a country with a say on the world agenda and of creating consciousness and awareness at the societal level, aims to bring solution proposals to the transformation and development of our future."
Noting that the summit, first organized in 2015, has been held 3 times to date, Asmalı gave information regarding the content of these programs.
Emphasizing that with MÜSİAD Visionary they aim to create awareness in the professional business world by hosting names who are experts in their fields while charting a new course for the business and economy world, Asmalı made the following statements:
"Visionary'21 carries the aim of taking notice in every sense of the world we live in, setting out from the action of knowing the past, understanding today and foreseeing the world of the future. By saying take notice of the digital, take notice of the climate, take notice of the enterprise, take notice of the transformation, it aims to understand today together, to make sense of the world we live in and, by saying "Take Notice", to chart a new path for tomorrow."
"In this age the one who takes notice succeeds"
MÜSİAD President Asmalı, stating that concepts such as technology, digital, global and innovative have now become an inseparable part of life, described the transformation experienced in these fields.
Expressing that these effects have been instrumental in everyone taking notice of the newly established world order, Asmalı continued as follows:
"As MÜSİAD Visionary, we too with this insight set the title of our 2021 program as 'Take Notice'. Because everything begins by taking notice, and to take notice means to build the future. It must not be forgotten that the developing, transforming age now wants us to take notice of everything. Countries move ahead with their innovative differences, brands reach their customers with the most different marketing tactics and transformations. In fact, in this age the one who takes notice succeeds. He succeeds in trade, he succeeds in digital, he succeeds in innovation, he succeeds in transformation, he succeeds in the field of health; in short, the person who takes notice takes his place in the leading role of the newly established world order. And we, as the MÜSİAD Visionary family, want our country to be in the leading role in the global arena, and that is why we say take notice."
Noting that while saying "high technology" they have not forgotten to say "high morality" as well, Asmalı touched on the importance of morality in this process of transformation.
"We will share our manifesto on climate at Visionary'21"
Mahmut Asmalı, stating that at MÜSİAD Visionary'21 they will put forward yet another quite different claim for the goal of a stronger, more sustainable, more productive and brighter Türkiye, made the following assessments:
"The Paris Climate Agreement places important responsibilities on our business world through a series of implementations within the scope of combating the climate crisis. In this context, as MÜSİAD we are aware of the responsibility falling to us. Sustainable energy and renewable energy transformations will be among our targets. Not only renewable energy options but green, carbon-free energy will also be on our agenda. We will continue to produce solutions in order to leave a more beautiful, healthy and clean world to future generations. We have formed our advisory board so that Türkiye can reach its climate targets. As MÜSİAD, we will share our manifesto on climate with you at our summit on December 22, with the motions that emerge from the workshop we will hold."
The deadline for registration for the summit, which important names will attend, is December 15
MÜSİAD President Asmalı, noting that they will hold a different summit this year and will design an NFT exhibition and present it for the appreciation of the participants, said that they will also bring some artistic activities to life.
Expressing that important names from Türkiye and the world will be guests at the summit, Asmalı reported that among these names are figures such as Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil, Steven Young, Paul Doany, Prof. Dr. Kemal Sayar and Prof. Dr. Sadettin Ökten.
Asmalı added to his words that those wishing to attend the summit free of charge must register at www.musiadvizyoner.org by December 15.
"We want to bring Visionary'21 together with everyone in certain cities of Anatolia"
MÜSİAD Visionary'21 Executive Board Chairman Erkan Gül, for his part, stating that they are considering continuing the Visionary'21 Take Notice summit at certain intervals until 2023, gave the following information:
'We want to bring Visionary'21 Take Notice together with everyone in certain cities of Anatolia and to provide benefit. We had expressed that start-ups are highly important for our future. For Visionary 21 we will appear before you with the Start-up Exchange Stage. Entrepreneurs who value the start-up spirit will take this stage, will speak of their mission and vision and will thus have shown a road map to people with start-up ideas. Again, achieving a first with our Start-up Exchange award ceremony, we will present our "Original Product Champion', 'Champion Who Knows No Borders', “Most Environmentalist Champion' awards."
