Cutting-Edge AI Education

Turkey has over 100 universities offering AI-related programs — but most curricula lag years behind the research frontier. Students learn to use existing tools without understanding the science that created them.

We bring the latest research from the world's top AI labs — on topics like transformer architectures, reinforcement learning from human feedback, multimodal reasoning, and AI safety — directly into the Turkish academic pipeline. Our goal is not to create tool users. It is to create tool builders.

  • Frontier Lecture SeriesGuest lectures and seminar series from active researchers at Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, MIT, and leading European institutions.
  • Hands-On Research LabsStructured lab sessions where students replicate and extend recent papers, building real research intuition.
  • Annual AI ChallengeA national student competition focused on solving Turkey-specific problems using novel AI approaches.

Global Talent Networks

Nearly half of Turkey's trained AI professionals leave the country. This is often framed as a crisis — but it is also an untapped opportunity. The Turkish AI diaspora holds positions at Google DeepMind, Meta AI, OpenAI, and top research universities worldwide.

Instead of trying to stop brain drain, we build infrastructure to ensure the knowledge flows back. We connect select Turkish university students with mentors, collaborators, and peers in the global AI ecosystem — creating a two-way talent bridge that benefits Turkey whether its talent stays or goes.

  • Diaspora Mentorship ProgramPairing top Turkish students with AI professionals working at frontier labs and companies abroad.
  • Research Exchange PipelineFacilitating short-term research visits and co-authorship opportunities between Turkish and international institutions.
  • Industry Internship NetworkCurated internship placements at AI-forward companies, both domestic and international.

From Consumer to Producer

Turkey has produced zero foundational AI models. While the country has strong talent in mechanical engineering, finance, and applied sciences, it has not yet translated those strengths into original AI research with global impact.

We incubate research agendas in areas where Turkey has natural competitive advantages — multilingual NLP (Turkish is an agglutinative language that presents unique challenges), healthcare AI leveraging Turkey's large clinical datasets, geopolitical and defense applications, and fintech solutions for emerging markets.

  • Research IncubatorSeed funding and structured mentorship for original AI research ideas from Turkish academics and graduate students.
  • Turkish NLP InitiativeBuilding high-quality Turkish-language datasets and benchmarks to advance multilingual AI capabilities.
  • Applied AI Lab PartnershipsJoint research programs with Boğaziçi, METU, İTÜ, Sabancı, Bilkent, and Koç universities.

Strategic Think Tank

Generative AI could increase Turkey's GDP by 5% — approximately $50-60 billion — within a decade. But only if companies adopt it strategically. Most Turkish enterprises currently lack the internal expertise to evaluate AI vendors, assess operational risks, or build sustainable adoption roadmaps.

We serve as an independent strategic advisor to Turkey's largest corporations, providing executive-level intelligence that goes beyond vendor-driven marketing. We help C-suites understand what AI can and cannot do for their specific industry, and how to compete globally.

  • Executive Briefing SeriesQuarterly deep-dives on AI trends, competitive dynamics, and implementation strategies for C-suite leaders.
  • AI Readiness AuditsComprehensive assessments of organizational data maturity, talent gaps, and technology stack readiness.
  • Competitive Intelligence ReportsSector-specific analysis of how global competitors are deploying AI — and what Turkish firms need to do to keep pace.

Policy & Regulatory Advisory

Turkey submitted its proposed AI Law in June 2024 and is developing a risk-based regulatory framework inspired by the EU AI Act. These are critical steps — but they require technically rigorous, independent input to succeed.

We bridge the gap between Ankara and the frontier of AI research. Our team provides policymakers with clear, evidence-based analysis of how AI affects labor markets, education systems, data privacy, national security, and public trust — so they can regulate effectively without stifling innovation.

  • Policy Briefs & WhitepapersAccessible, evidence-based reports on specific AI policy questions — written for decision-makers, not academics.
  • Regulatory Impact AnalysisModeling the economic and social impact of proposed AI regulations before they are enacted.
  • Parliamentary AdvisoryDirect engagement with legislators and ministry officials through testimony, working groups, and stakeholder consultations.
