Turkey to send 10 techno entrepreneurs to Silicon Valley

Speaking to the AA after his visits in the Silicon Valley, Ergun said that Turkey would send groups of 10 young Turkish techno entrepreneurs to the Silicon Valley for periods of up to 3 months.

Turkish Science, Industry and Technology Minister Nihat Ergun visited Apple Corporation and Google in San Francisco’s Silicon Valley on Monday.

Speaking to the AA after his visits in the Silicon Valley, Ergun said that Turkey would send groups of 10 young Turkish techno entrepreneurs to the Silicon Valley for periods of up to 3 months.

“These young Turks can stay at the Silicon Valley for three months. They can develop their software here. They will have a chance to make presentations to the executives of giant corporations at the Silicon Valley. I believe that this is a crucial opportunity to open up to the world. We will bear all expenses of the young Turkish entrepreneurs. We will begin sending groups of Turks to the Silicon Valley as of 2012,” Ergun stressed.
