The increase in R&D investments will pave the way for new ventures. The attitude of entrepreneurs when starting this business is very important, an entrepreneur can never be pessimistic. The way you have evaluated changes according to the energy we radiate while presenting our idea to the jury. I recommend that you always be optimistic and act in a planned manner.

‘LEARN FROM MISTAKES’

 

TechXtile Program Coordinator Ufuk Batum, who noted that he made continuous improvement in the process by investing in human capital, said, “Do not be afraid of making mistakes; Learn from your mistakes and don’t repeat them. Entrepreneurship is not a domain where we seek perfection. The R&D ecosystem in our country has developed considerably, and I strongly recommend investors and entrepreneurs be optimistic in this regard. R&D is the main point of development and competition. In today’s world where markets are articulated, we need to differentiate with R&D studies to rise in position in this competitive environment. Once you have developed a culture of research and development, you must combine it with marketing and commercialize it. By thinking market-oriented, you should put the customer first and take your next steps forward based on the feedback you receive.

 

“YOU MUST SEGMENT THE CUSTOMERS”

 

Batum, who also informed that the way of entrepreneurs create a business model consists of 9 building blocks, said, “The business model, which is the backbone of the business plan; refers to the set of behaviors in which market value is defined, produced, distributed and repeated. While realizing your business idea, you should transform a value that fits your needs into a product or service. After determining the need of the market and performing the production, you must have analyzed the customer’s world well while distributing to the right customer channel. Because everything in marketing revolves around the customer. Customers should be segmented based on behavior, age, gender, geographic location, purchasing power, and education level. Thanks to this segmentation, you can turn to the right customer channel and focus on providing value to your target audience.”
