Özyeğin University’s primary goal is to become one of Türkiye’s leading entrepreneurial research universities. In addition to placing great emphasis on academic research, the University focuses on university–industry collaboration, intellectual property rights, technology commercialization, and the establishment of technology-based ventures and startups as key components of its mission.
To support these objectives, the Özyeğin University Technology Transfer Office (ÖzÜ TTO) was established in November 2012. In 2013, ÖzÜ TTO was among the first 10 universities to receive support under TÜBİTAK’s 1513 Technology Transfer Offices Support Program.
