This was an opportunity for all to build relationships with the best of the best from the local startup ecosystems of the regions while getting a lifetime experience of driving a Porsche in the world-famous Intercity Istanbul Park! I bet you are curious. Take a look at where it took place below.

INTERCITY ISTANBUL PARK
Porsche is a partner of the internationally well-known Formula 1 Intercity Istanbul Park Circuit since 2015. Several F1 races took place in the last years, the most recent one in 2021. The track shows large run-off areas and a lot of grip on the asphalt.
For the event, the 5,338 km long track with 14 turns, an offroad course as well as the huge paddock area are being used. Porsche manages its own “Porsche Driving Center” at the racetrack, where international events like “Porsche on Track” are being held. The Porsche Driving Center comes with a modern equipped 900m² Porsche Lounge on top of the pit building.
PORSCHE AND GSAWARDS PARTNERSHIP
Porsche and Global Startup Awards joined forces to bring to life a new category, Diversity Role Model of the Year. The Why behind this category is based on the fact that there is a lack of diverse representation among investors, founders, and other stakeholders in the startup ecosystem, and a change is long overdue.
The mission of the category is to become a vessel for promoting success stories to inspire the next generation of founders and change-makers, independent of gender, race, ethnicity, or religion.
