The Global Opportunities in Business and Investment (GOBI) was created by the ITU Investment Club with the motto “This is a Dream Product!” and stands as ITU’s first international student summit, bringing together C-level speakers and students from around the world.
Hosting participants from all corners of the globe, GOBI provides an opportunity to examine the changes in the evolving world through panels featuring C-level speakers. Additionally, the evening events during the summit create networking opportunities.
What do we do?
At GOBI, we enable students from all around the globe to shape their careers for 3 days with the participation of world-renowned speakers.
What else?
In addition to the panels, we enable foreign students to meet the beauties and traditions of Turkey with the fun activities we organize for 4 days.
Why GOBI?
We help students advance in their careers with workshops, case studies and internship opportunities.
What did we achieve?
GOBI was chosen the Best International Student Event in Turkey and Europe in 2009 by Üniaktivite.
