The next-generation business network initiative established within the global e-commerce and media platform WORLDEF, WORLDEF Growth Network (WGN), introduced its new group. At the launch, key players in the digital trade ecosystem gathered. WORLDEF CEO Ömer Nart stated, “The savanna of the business world is now the whole world. Our competitors are no longer in the building next door, but on the other side of the ocean. It is no longer about survival; it is about managing this massive global ecosystem.” WGN aims to establish a relationship system that generates commercial results and connects it with global networks starting from the MENA region.
The launch of the WGN MAGMA Group took place with a special event at the Wyndham Grand Istanbul Levent Hotel. The members of the WGN MAGMA Group attended the launch. During the event, membership certificates and membership documents were distributed to the group members. WGN plans to launch new groups in the coming days.
Ömer Nart: The Savanna of the Business World is Now the Whole World
In his speech at the event, WORLDEF CEO Ömer Nart said, “Today, we are gathered here not just for the opening of a network platform, but to redefine how we do business on a global scale.” He continued:
“Today, we are in 2026, and the savanna of the business world is now the whole world. The sun rises not only in Istanbul every morning, but also in Dubai, London, and New York on the same day. Our competitors are no longer just in the building next door, but at the other end of the ocean, just a screen away. In this relentless speed of the business world, running alone is no longer enough. It is no longer about survival; it is about managing this enormous global ecosystem.”
Ömer Nart stated, “Our goal at WGN is clear: From Istanbul to Dubai, from Riyadh to Rotterdam, from Baku to Berlin, no matter where in the world; we will open all doors to our members. With this network, we combine the strength of the lion with the agility of the gazelle.”
Burak Aykurt: We Bring the Right People Together at the Right Time in the Right Place
Burak Aykurt, Chairman of the WGN MAGMA Group Board, emphasized that WGN is not a traditional business club, association, or networking organization. He stated, “WORLDEF Growth Network is a business community made up of people who do not just know each other by business cards, but respect each other’s business, time, and reputation. At WGN, instead of asking who we can sell something to, we ask, ‘How can I help you?’ Because we know that in today’s business world, the most scarce resource is not money; it is trust and time.”
Burak Aykurt also noted that volunteering is essential in WORLDEF Growth Network, saying, “Volunteering means wanting to contribute, wanting to create value, and saying, ‘I am here because I believe in it.’ That’s why no one in WGN is just a spectator. Everyone is somehow part of the game. We are doing something difficult; we are bringing the right people together at the right time in the right place. The purpose of WGN is not just to get business, but the right business comes from the right relationships. We have a very clear long-term goal: To be one of Türkiye’s most trusted and qualified business communities.”
Aykurt concluded, “WGN will not be a place that everyone can enter one day. But everyone who enters will feel one thing: ‘I’m glad I’m here.’ Because we are building strong partnerships, not fast crowds.”
Serkan Çakır, Chairman of the WGN MAGMA Group Mentorship Committee, said, “Our task here is to ensure that the members can express themselves and their business needs much more clearly. We also aim to ensure that connections do not remain superficial and contribute to making this network a structure that truly generates business.”
