It's invaluable for us to see these distinguished young people, who come from Turkey's leading universities, mature through field experience, develop projects with creative ideas, and passionately embrace this experience. I believe that every participant in this program will have a say in the future transformation of the energy sector. I wholeheartedly congratulate all of our graduates and wish them bright and bright paths.”
