A Strategic Move from NADEV Foundation: Full Support for Maritime Education and Social Responsibility
NADEV Foundation, a subsidiary of Alkoç Group known for its contributions to education and impactful social responsibility projects, continues its dedicated efforts toward establishing a Maritime Academy.
Since its inception, the foundation has prioritized student scholarships. To ensure the sustainability of its scholarship support and to provide deeper moral guidance to young individuals, NADEV has adopted a more selective and focused approach. In addition to its commitment to education, the foundation also shows compassion toward stray animals, actively working to find safe homes for abandoned pets.
NADEV places great emphasis on ensuring that scholarship recipients are employed aboard vessels in the Alkoç Group fleet. It also supports students through office and offshore internship opportunities, contributing meaningfully to their professional development. Actively involved in national and local projects, the foundation plays a vital role in the localization of original and specialized initiatives.
In recent years, NADEV has shifted its focus from sponsorships to direct aid efforts during Ramadan across different regions. Relying entirely on its own resources, the foundation has quickly become a model for impactful and independent social responsibility initiatives.
Alkoç Group also stands out with its innovative steps toward increasing female employment, aiming to create more opportunities for women in the industry. Gürhan Burak Alkoç, Chairman of the Board and Chief Engineer of Alkoç Group, stated that he had previously partnered in a private maritime academy and is now preparing to bring his knowledge and experience to life through a new academy initiative based in Istanbul with international connections.
Meanwhile, Alkoç Group continues to expand its logistics operations across the Turkic Republics and is steadily increasing the operational scope of its office in Georgia.
