The Covid-19 pandemic, the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and other new global tensions have brought to the fore the fragility of value chains in our hyper- globalised economy. The total closure of trade routes in Asia was the trigger that drove the new de-globalising era we are currently experiencing, and from which nearshoring has emerged.

Due to the disruption of supply chains and economic systems all over the world, we all cope with the same problem to be solved: how to face the battle for talent whereby not only does the employer have higher expectations of the employee, but the employee also expects to be challenged and requires more freedom and flexibility from their employer.

The millennial generation was born between 1981 to 1996. By the year 2025, over 70% of our workforce will be millennials. Knowing who composes the workforce will help determine how we work together.

Starting in the early 2010s, the number of mobile gaming start-ups has been increasing rapidly and Turkey has transformed itself into a hub. The number of experienced developers in Turkey, combined with important government incentives and the depreciation of the Turkish Lira against foreign currencies, have created a solid foundation. Newly founded Turkish mobile gaming start-ups enjoyed early success and increased in both revenue and active player numbers. The attention of global investors was increasing more and more as the Turkish Lira fell, decreasing the development costs and increasing the competitive advantage of Turkish start-ups. The COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst in the industry; as people were forced to stay indoors, the demand for mobile games increased significantly. As Peak Games emerged as Turkey’s first unicorn, the Turkish mobile gaming industry experienced rapid growth and an increase in investor attention. Now let’s take a closer look at the Turkish mobile gaming industry.

The concept of “Startup”, something that was rarely heard of and in which only a handful of people were interested in Turkey at the turn of the 2010s, has today become a paramount part of the country’s technology sector. With its huge young population, surging number of educated people, and increasing levels of internet usage, Turkey has created a very dynamic startup ecosystem over the past decade, during which dozens of new startups were founded, numerous angel investors and venture capital firms emerged, lots of exits were made, and a supportive infrastructure was built with growing numbers of accelerators and beneficial government initiatives.

At Openside we are often struck by both the similarities between law and consulting business models, and the differences in approach and mindset to generating and delivering work. If a firm could combine the best of a law firm’s “IQ” (content) with that of a consulting firm’s “EQ” (or, ability to truly understand a client’s context), that firm would be unstoppable.
