Testimonials
“Techfest has an important role in creating an event, a brand with international prestige where startups can connect with potential customers, investors, leading experts, supporting organizations as well as domestic and international communication agencies.”
“In the coming period, MOST will clearly show our determination to collaborate with other ministries and local and international entrepreneurial organizations in not just connecting parts of the ecosystem, but also help them communicate to learn from the experiences of the international startup community, especially through events for startups such as TECHFEST”.
“We need to make it so that the entrepreneurial movement doesn’t just come and go but becomes a long term aspect of our society. There is a saying in the ICT community that one can go fast but not far alone. We need startup communities, investment communities, research communities to be have stronger growth. This is what the government and the Prime Minister really wants for us all.”
“Startups are important drivers of development. They have impacts on a wide range of fields, leading to contributions to the community and to society, solving many problems related to the human experience and sustainability. Therefore, the value of startup is not only in financial success, but also in the personal social value, that brings diversity to the community and invites respect from society.”
