With the “Jet Luck” competition organized by Halkbank quickly approaching, applications for those wishing to participate in the competition are open until April 7th. The competition, which allows entrepreneurs to present their projects to some of Turkey’s most prominent business people, promises a substantial reward for the winner. Finalists will also have the opportunity to win surprise gifts. 

JetLuck is counting down to an exciting and dynamic elevator speech competition aimed at entrepreneurs presenting their projects in the most impressive way in the shortest time possible.

The competition, set to take place on May 10th at the Halkbank Towers, tests not only the content of the venture but also the entrepreneur’s communication skills, quick decision-making ability, and persuasiveness. 

In this competition, entrepreneurs who pass through the preliminary evaluation process will have the chance to meet a jury consisting of leading business people in an elevator journey, where they will present their business ideas and projects. 

HOW WILL THE COMPETITION BE CONDUCTED?

Entrepreneurs, unaware of which jury member they will encounter, will be guided sequentially to the elevator on the day of the competition. 

The jury member who is unaware of the entrepreneurs will come down from the 43rd floor in the elevator, while the entrepreneur will await them at the ground floor in front of the elevator. A surprising encounter will take place when the door opens. 

During the elevator ride of 50 seconds, entrepreneurs will be expected to impress the jury member. 

This moment will be live-streamed to the jury room through fixed cameras and microphones inside the elevator.

Entrepreneurs who can deliver an impressive presentation and persuade the business person with their project will proceed to the next stage.

At this stage, entrepreneurs will make a comprehensive five-minute presentation to the jury, detailing their projects. At the end of the day, the entrepreneur with the highest score from the jury evaluation will receive the grand prize. Other participating entrepreneurs will also receive surprise gifts. 

WHO CAN APPLY FOR THE COMPETITION?
Jet Luck will be an open event for entrepreneurs at different levels, ranging from those in the idea phase to those who have completed feasibility studies or developed prototypes (MVP). 

WHEN AND HOW TO APPLY?
Entrepreneurs can apply for the competition from March 3, 2025, to April 7, 2025, by filling out the application form on halkbankkobi.com.tr. 

All entrepreneurs who submit applications will undergo a comprehensive evaluation considering their presentations, video documents, and other information provided in the application form.

After the application period ends, entrepreneurs passing the preliminary evaluation will have physical or online meetings arranged. 

COMPETITION ON MAY 10TH
Entrepreneurs whose applications are approved will earn the right to participate in the Jet Luck event held on May 10, 2025. They will have 50 seconds in the Halkbank elevator to convince one of Turkey’s leading business people by presenting their projects.
