In the final competition of the Danone business simulation held March 3 in Turkey, the Bilkent team (Mehmet Fatih Güven IE/III, Funda Leblebici IE/III, Alp Eren Can IE/III, Özge Özmen IE/III, Bilal Okatan IE/III) was chosen to represent Turkey in Danone's business simulation, “Trust By Danone.”

This is the fourth year of the “Trust by Danone” competition and over 1400 students applied. This simulation has multiple steps and the participants manage an imaginary company at each step. The winning team to represent Bilkent was chosen on February 17 at the Sheraton Hotel Ankara. The Bilkent team won the national competition in İstanbul on March 3rd beating teams from METU, Boğaziçi, İTÜ, Koç and Sabancı universities by presenting their studies to Danone Turkey Managers. Now, the Bilkent team is preparing to represent Bilkent University and Turkey in the World Final as teams from 16 countries will participate in Paris between March 29 and 30. We wish them success!
