Starting with the program flow, he introduced Gürol Üzenç, the manager of Cube Incubation as the main speaker of the Deeptech Demo Day, kicking off with the video of Cube Incubation center’s recent launch, who aims to embrace the innovative ideas and deeptech world together. Gürol started his words as follows; “With the excitement of the launch of Cube Incubation center and being able to contribute entrepreneurs with demo days we are proud. At the same time, we are pleased to be featured in this online event with Startups Watch.” His speech was followed by how Cube Incubation started and what their goal is in the ecosystem besides their programs and support system that they have developed through all phases of startups. Their main aim is to scale up the deeptech startups into the global markets. Lastly, he marked that they recently published a report that is about entrepreneurship on deeptech in Turkey and the world.
