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.
