Martı's opening gong on the New York Stock Exchange

According to the statement made by Martı, the Turkish flag was hoisted along with the Martı flag at the main entrance and trading hall of the New York Stock Exchange on the occasion of the historic ceremony. Turkey's Ambassador to Washington Hasan Murat Mercan, New York Consul General Reyhan Özgür, and a distinguished group of guests from the public and private sectors and international investor circles attended the ceremony. Turkey's scaled mobility company Martı, which wants to further expand shared, electric and environmentally friendly transportation in Turkey, has managed to raise a resource of close to 60 million dollars from the public offering, which it carried out to increase its capital and direct it to investment. Martı Founder Oğuz Alper Öktem, whose views are included in the statement, underlined that their primary goal has always been to gain the trust of their users since the first day they were founded; "This trust, assured not only by a strong business plan and innovative business model, but also by our unwavering passion and commitment, has attracted investors who believe in our vision for the future. As we stand on this stage today, we affirm their faith and express our gratitude for joining us on this path." Öktem said that being the first Turkish company whose shares are traded directly on the New York Stock Exchange, and gaining this title in the last 5 years, gives great confidence for the future; "This success is a symbol not only of the entire Martı Family, but also of the hard work, power and potential of Turkish entrepreneurs. Today's successful IPO gives us additional resources to consolidate our market leadership. We had the support of top investors and now have access to the US capital markets. This new capital base will be instrumental in our progress towards becoming a world-class technology and mobility company.”
