Some business people are appreciated from all walks of life, not only for their achievements in their own sectors, but also for their social responsibility projects. Ali Erhan Binici, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ankaref, which stands out in the field of internet of things in Turkey, is both the voice and guidance of young entrepreneurs and start-ups with the Digital Aci program, which he managed to fit into his busy work schedule. The program moderated by Ali Erhan Binici was deemed worthy of the Business and Economy Program of the Year award at the Turkey Leader Brand Awards Ceremony, organized by Strong Medya as part of Turkey Brand and Career events, where the winners were determined by yerliara.com and strongbosses.com readers. Ali Erhan Binici, who took the stage to receive the award at the Turkey Leader Brand Awards Ceremony with the intense applause of the guests who attended the night, said, “This is a social responsibility project. It is very difficult for a business person to be in front of television and make a program, but our goal is to support startups and initiatives. Because they are the future of Turkey. I want this support to be provided by everyone. Most likely, this award will be motivation. I seek the forgiveness of everyone who does this job professionally. I wish you a pleasant night,” said Ali Erhan Binici, stating that it is a great pleasure to receive an award for his program, which left a year behind on the screens and transformed into a format followed with interest by young entrepreneurs and startups. “There are many hesitations and handicaps experienced by people who are at the first step of the entrepreneurial journey. As someone who has gone through the same processes and experienced similar hesitations, I believe that a positive touch made by an outsider at such times will lead to the successful conclusion of an initiative. So far, we have tried to support young entrepreneurs and start-ups with our dozens of TV episodes that we have produced with this belief. Sometimes we brought them together with angel investors in the studio, and sometimes we tried to be their voice in order to find solutions to their problems.”
