At the TRUK Accelerator Program's Demo Day, startups specializing in climate technologies, the circular economy, carbon management, sustainable logistics, and green materials showcased their innovative solutions, business models, and future plans to key stakeholders. This marked the culmination of a nine-month program featuring tailored mentoring, specialized training, and access to international experts in both Türkiye and the United Kingdom.
“We support startups from end-to-end to open up to global markets.”
NEOHUB General Manager Gürhan Çam stated that TRUK is advancing with a holistic approach that encourages startups to produce value with a sustainability perspective. Çam said, “We have supported all the startups in our program from the idea stage to their opening up to the global markets. Strengthening the technology and innovation produced in our country with international collaborations creates an extremely important advantage regarding the global applicability of ideas. At NEOHUB, we are very happy to contribute to the greater representation of our country's entrepreneurial potential in the global arena."

The TRUK Acceleration Program provides strong support to startups in terms of strengthening their business models, developing and growing their businesses, and becoming competitive and creating an impact in the international arena. We are very happy to be a part of this program that makes a meaningful contribution to the development of the technology ecosystem in Türkiye.”
“We offer a comprehensive support span.”
Fabio Bianchi, Managing Consultant & Head of Entrepreneurship at Oxentia, said, "The first group of the TRUK program successfully completed the capacity building, training and mentoring stages and developed themselves with a wide range of support during the nine-month period. In the UK leg of the program, investors from the London ecosystem, innovation centers and different players of the entrepreneurship ecosystem came together and had the opportunity to expand their international networks and discover new market opportunities. Our goal for the upcoming period is to evaluate potential investments.”
