KWORKS | An Acceleration Program that supports technology-based Entrepreneurs
KWORKS, which was formerly called the Koç University Entrepreneurship Research Center, was established in 2014 by Koç University (KU) with the aim of quickly turning technology-based business concepts into long-term, scalable companies. Acting as a central meeting place for entrepreneurs, investors, and other important members of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, the center facilitates innovation by providing crucial infrastructural assistance to entrepreneurs as they go from conception to commercialization. Hence, the procedure becomes more rigorous as it goes towards product development, starting with the Pre-Acceleration Program for early-stage businesses without a viable business strategy. In the Acceleration Program, as businesses go through the stages, the focus changes to the more rigorous stages of developing customers, products, or services.
