A delegation of sixteen students from Amsterdam visit Turkey in May 2013 to explore the entrepreneurial climate in one of the fastest growing and most exhilarating markets in the world today. The 16 Student Entrepreneurs is an annually changing group of sixteen students selected out of more than 100 applications from students of the University of Amsterdam, VU Univeristy and Hogeschool van Amsterd
am, who share an interest in challenging entrepreneurship. The group is required to utilize professional capabilities in the ventures of a startup business organization and are coached in their efforts by entrepreneurs of the Amsterdam Center for Entrepreneurship and 1&12 Ventures. While the students learn to manage their organization, their business is serious. They aim to deliver products and services on demand to a high-end clientele. In short, the intent is to master a business organization, to take activities beyond their comfort zone, to foster collaboration and to encourage global entrepreneurial interaction.
