Yıldız Technical University Establishes New Technology Hub

A New Technology Hub from YTÜ YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark, with its new campus in Maslak, the heart of business and finance, is preparing to provide new opportunities for Turkey's startups and entrepreneurs with global ambitions. In Istanbul, called the 'Silicon Valley' of Europe, YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark is launching its new campus in Maslak following its Davutpaşa and Ikitelli locations. Positioned in the city centre, YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark Maslak, with its coworking areas and incubation centre, will become the new address of innovation and technology. Operating with sustainable smart system infrastructure, the campus will provide members with training, research and consulting support.

Goal: Creating joint technologies with international companies

Stating that the Maslak campus will bring them closer to international companies, YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark General Manager Orhan Tanışman said, "At YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark, we are closely integrated with the academy at our Davutpaşa campus. Similarly, with our Ikitelli location, we are positioned in Turkey's most important organized industrial zone. Now with our Maslak campus, we have become neighbours with international companies. With all our campuses, we offer our companies location and access to foreign markets. Our main idea with Maslak is to collaborate with companies that have an international vision. YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark is a leader in its region and influential globally. To expand our country's success globally and to be a leader, we need to offer our technologies more to the outside world, and in this sense, we need to create a global common space. We aim to bring entrepreneurs together with gaming, fintech, insurtech and healthcare technologies. With our Maslak campus, we will produce the technologies of the future with international companies gathered around this vision," he said.

"With our new campus, we will be at the centre of the business and finance ecosystem"

Stating that YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark is ambitious in areas such as gaming, fintech, insurtech and mobility, YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark General Manager Orhan Tanışman said: "At YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark Maslak, we will work with organisations using advanced technology. With our new campus, we will continue to support startups and entrepreneurs in every area where we see potential, in accordance with the reason for the existence of technoparks. We want to see our entrepreneurs in a position where they can grow their ideas and at the same time represent our country under international competition conditions. As Yıldız Teknopark, we have more than 500 companies and more than 150 incubated companies. We also achieve approximately 10 per cent growth each year. For this reason, as Yıldız Teknopark, we aim to continue accelerating our R&D and innovation activities. To support this growth and meet the need, we have launched our new campus in Maslak. With our national and international partners, we will continue to be present in every area where technology and IT can and will spread on a global scale." On the other hand, YTÜ Yıldız Teknopark Maslak, operating from a 'Business Centre' concept in Maslak, the centre of the business and finance ecosystem, is located in an area of 20,000 square metres. In addition to incubation centres, the campus provides working spaces with closed, open and semi-open areas for members.
