The aim of this research is to reveal research to determine the commercial activities, economic initiatives, investments, workplace difficulties, cultural and business harmony, opportunities and innovation practices of Syrian enterprises living in Gaziantep. This research was carried out with 21 Syrian refugee entrepreneurs operating in the province of Gaziantep, and interviews were conducted with immigrant entrepreneurs who mostly do business in the textile and shoe sector. Content analysis, which is a qualitative analysis technique, was used in the research. The participants were asked general questions on entrepreneurial adventures, cultural adaptation and adaptation to the labor market. The data collected as a result of the interviews with Syrian refugee entrepreneurs were transferred to the MAXQDA qualitative analysis program. In this analysis, qualitative analyzes were carried out using the frequencies of the participants' expressions, analyzes, word and code clouds. Considering the findings of the research, it can be said that Syrian entrepreneurs easily adapt to social harmony due to cultural similarities, they have difficulty in getting used to the Turkish labor market in the first place, but they adapt over time. It can be said that Syrian entrepreneurs have difficulties in issues such as lack of citizenship, lack of equivalence of driver's licenses, laws, language problems, work permits and licenses, and not knowing the practices in the markets. When the suggestions and expectations of the participants are examined in general, it is seen that they need citizenship, capital, convenience in bank transactions, work permit, technological support.
