THE WORLD IS MOVING TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Global capital now supports initiatives that focus not only on profit, but also on environmental impact and social benefit. From clean energy to micro-housing, climate technologies to sustainable production, the accelerating transformation around the world is forcing the business world in Turkey towards a new vision.
The global economy is in the midst of a transformation that has been discussed for a long time but has rapidly materialised in recent years. The direction of the world's leading capital flows is now shifting towards ventures that prioritise nature over short-term financial success, can measure environmental impact, are climate-friendly, innovative and generate social benefits. The steps taken by the European Union under the Green Deal, the massive funds allocated by the United States to clean energy and climate technologies, and the rising green infrastructure investments in Asia demonstrate that the global investment ecosystem is aligning towards a common goal.
Sectors such as energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, micro-housing and data centres have become the new strategic priorities for investments that are both scalable and capable of achieving net-zero balance. In short, today's global investors are seeking long-term solutions to the climate crisis threatening the world.
This picture directly affects not only the world, but also Turkey. Domestic ventures are entering the radar of international funds with sustainability-focused business models and becoming more visible than ever before. This visibility is based on investors now beginning to recognise the global validity of the innovative solutions offered by Turkish ventures in particular.
Polat Gülman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gülman Group, one of the key players behind this transformation, is also delivering important messages to entrepreneurs in Turkey as he comments on the economy of the future.
It is essential to prioritise sustainability.
Gülman emphasises that they have structured their growing investments in venture capital and real estate within a framework that is compatible with the new global climate, stating:
Our investment objectives, established through Gülman Ventures, which operates in the field of venture capital, are not solely financial. By closely following trends in the evolving world, we aim to build a much stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem for the future.
The world's transition to a sustainability-focused entrepreneurship model is not only a necessity, but also creates a new window of opportunity.
Gülman's core message is clear: In a world transformed by the pandemic, entrepreneurs' vision of sustainability is now of critical importance.
Gülman continues:
“The pandemic has demonstrated that social welfare cannot be measured solely by economic growth. From the energy crisis to climate disasters, numerous issues are shaping the new realities of the world. We are currently adapting to global change both as an organisation and through our initiatives.”
In conclusion:
Whether it be the interest of global funds, the fundamental shift in consumer behaviour, or international regulations, the world is rapidly transforming towards sustainable entrepreneurship. Start-ups and companies in Turkey are also adapting to this change by embracing the rules of this new economic game.
