January 14, 2021 Germany Turkey Entrepreneurship Ecosystems: How to Survice Covid 19 Crisis and Look Beyond
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought most businesses to a standstill, especially hitting the startup ecosystem hard. Startups are facing many problems ranging from investment shortfall to the need to quickly overhaul business plans, substantial workplace changes, as well as, the question of how to lead their own teams in this changing environment. In this cluster meeting, we aim to explore how startup managers and founders in Germany and in Turkey are adapting to survive these multiple challenges posed by the current coronavirus crisis, discover ways to look beyond the existing circumstances while survival remains the imperative focus and inquire collaboration opportunities between Turkish and German start up communities.
