Workshop 1

METU Crea Met Entrepreneurs at Our First Workshop!

On March 26, 2025, we kicked off the first in a series of hands-on workshops within the scope of our Project at the ODTÜ Teknokent ETKİM Building, Platinum Hall.

Designed exclusively for entrepreneurs applying to METU Crea through Project ME, the session focused on mastering the art of pitching. Participants explored our dynamic “From This to That” approach — a fast-paced method for presenting ideas through 7 slides in just 7 minutes. Then, our participants got down to work to put into practice what they have learned and pitched their businesses to Thierry Baujard, the ECITE Project Game Sector Expert with deep international experience in fund management and project evaluation who took on the role of an investor to provide feedback to all presentations delivered. We helped our participants enrich themselves and leverage their business ideas with the feedback they have received.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to METU Design Factory Director Prof. Dr. Arzu Gönenç, METU Design Factory Deputy Director Dr. Serkan Alkan, ECITE Project Key Expert Nihat Baran Menteş, ECITE Project Creative Management Expert Baran Can Turan and Mr. Thierry Baujard for their valuable contributions, and all our participants for their energy and enthusiasm.
