We started our journey on "Technopreneurship in Health" by being the accredited representative of the "Memory Centers of America" starting in 1998. We managed to initiate Üsküdar University as a Foundation University in 2011 successfully.
The existing university system enables importing West's knowledge and concepts into Turkey and tailgate global developments. However, our desire is not to make Turkey attain a place in the global system as a market, but to train and procure human resources required for Turkey to become a strong global actor. The studies and the efforts conducted both in the state and in the foundation universities in recent years aim the accelerate rapid improvement in quality and quantity.
Like every Turkish citizen, this change has been a hopeful source for us. We feel excited to see this attitude is spreading. As in each period of history and at present, the power of the societies and the states has increased by the produced knowledge. In this information age, universities are considered to be the leading sources and institutions in producing knowledge. As far as it is determined from the developed countries' experiences, the universities' efforts to produce knowledge with the public resources are not sufficient. To produce knowledge as a country, the need for state and foundation universities is quite apparent.
Apart from knowledge and science, universities have other functions such as education-training and social responsibilities. We have the sense of responsibility that we should undertake the duty of attaining the ideal level in both cases. As Chairman of the Executive Board of NP Group companies and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of İDER Foundation (Foundation of Human Values and Mental Health), like every institution and every person who loves his/her country and wants to contribute to a bright future for Turkey.
