Driving force of developing countries: Angel Investment

Angel investment is described as a system bringing business ideas suggested by an entrepreneur but could not been realized due to lack of funding, and financial resources required to implement those ideas together. The system is mutually beneficial for both the investor and the entrepreneur and it takes its place as a driving force for the economies especially of the developing countries, by creating new products, services and businesses.

Angel investment emerging as a large investment area especially in the United States and the European Union countries indicates a size of $20 billion approximately for the economies in question, according to the data of 2011. In Turkey, 75% tax exemption will provide an advantage for angel investors for a "successful rise" which constitutes an important part of angel investment ecosystem.
