Global Success News Special Edition

Dear readers,

We are happy to announce the successful completion of our second annual Turkish-German Innovation Summit in Istanbul, Turkey. Despite turbulent times, we have chosen Istanbul for our second Summit, because we believe that these relationships should be cherished and held dear. We should not stop trying to strengthen the bonds that have held for so many years and are mutually beneficial for both countries.

This year's summit covered a wide variety of topics related to Industrie 4.0, innovation, and advancements in the manufacturing industry. In addition to holding our successful Summit, this year we are also proud to have introduced the first ever Turkish-German Innovation award in 4 categories: Joint venture manufacturing, Joint venture R&D, Innovative Turkish Start-up and Innovative German start-up.

We invite you to join us as we re-live the event with our latest GSC newsletter. For those of you who were unable to attend the event, we welcome you to experience the highlights from the event from this year's summit, including panels, interviews, and more.

We would like to thank our distinguished guests, speakers, and sponsors that joined us for the event. In addition, we would like to thank all our award ceremony Jury members and congratulate all winners of the first Turkish-German Innovation Award.

We hope you enjoy this special edition newsletter and we look forward to seeing you at our next event!
