About the Project
Turkiye needs a nationwide library network focused on entrepreneurship. As Social Business Global, we aim to set up 21 Entrepreneurship Libraries across 15 cities in partnership with leading incubation centers. Our goal is to help entrepreneurs use their time, effort, and resources more consciously, build research skills, and widen their circle of impact. The collection will be made up of Turkish commercial and social entrepreneurship books — an entrepreneur's essential reads — refreshed every year with new titles and kept alive through author talks, book signings, and networking events.
