President Karagözoğlu: The Alphabet of Today's World is Software
Emphasizing the need for young people to advance technologically, Karagözoğlu said, “One is not born with education; but lives with it. It is very important for us that you grow up as individuals who produce technology rather than consume it, that you are properly guided and your management skills are developed to prepare for the world of the future. The alphabet of today's world is software and coding. If you want to progress in this direction, you must know coding to adapt to the new world order. You will carry this period forward. For this, you need qualities such as being open to innovation, thinking, researching, questioning, and taking risks,” concluding his speech.
At the program, Netaş CEO Altay and TEKDER President Duman made short speeches expressing their satisfaction.
