Global Turks Foundation is a social network of globally accomplished Turkish leaders, united by purpose
We are an independent social initiative driven by a noble mission—free from ties to
any institution, individual, political stance, or belief system: promoting collaboration, unity and solidarity among Global Turkish Leaders: C-Level professionals, scientists, academicians, artists, meaning a wider talent-based community aspiring to continuously improve their global vision, global leadership, and enhance their visibility, effectiveness, and impact on the international scene.
Why Global Turks Foundation?
Across business, the arts, science, and civil society, there are many highly accomplished and globally recognized Turkish individuals. In addition, there is a remarkable new generation poised to rise to similar levels of influence and success. This represents a tremendous asset for both our country’s global standing and the development of our human capital. However, this potential stands rather disconnected, hence presents a growing need for a strong ecosystem that supports Global Turkish Leaders — their talents, production, international networks, and impact. Helping them reach their full potential across the world is both a strategic opportunity and a national imperative for the Global Turks Foundation.
