At the Founders Hub event organised in cooperation with YTU Yıldız Technopark and Microsoft, Microsoft's Azure cloud platform was explained to entrepreneurs operating within the Technopark.

Within the scope of the strategic partnership of YTU Yıldız Technopark and Microsoft, Founders Hub event was held at Yıldız Technical University Historical Bath. While the focal point of the event was the delivery of Microsoft's latest technologies to the entrepreneurs operating within YTU Yıldız Technopark, it was explained how the companies working on cloud-based activities can use Microsoft products more effectively. In addition to financial assistance, the cooperation aims to accelerate innovation by supporting start-ups on the technical side.

“ECONOMY WILL BE TRANSFORMED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REVOLUTION”

Microsoft Turkey Startups Technical Leader Ozgur Guler, who said that they expect artificial intelligence to create a serious transformation in today's economy like the industrial revolution or electricity, stated that the increasing productivity will create a serious acceleration in the economy as much as the industrial revolution. Stating that OpenAI is an artificial intelligence technology approaching unmanned intelligence and significantly reduces the barriers in the startup process, Ozgur Guler said, "Startups will be able to do it all with artificial intelligence without employing a new workforce in areas such as branding, marketing content, automation of standard admin jobs. We are currently in an asistive state. On the Microsoft side, we call this 'copilot' technologies. In other words, technologies that make our work easier and faster. But we think that they will have greater transformative effects that change the basis of the business in the next period. It is very difficult to make future predictions here. We are at the beginning of a great journey. In this sense, we recommend startups to stay within artificial intelligence technologies. As there is an electric version of everything today, we will see AI, that is, machine versions in the future. We advise startups to stay within AI technologies and learn how to increase their processes and efficiency in a more technically competent way, how they can better present their ideas about Microsoft's really strong and industry-leading solutions, especially the Azure OpenAI solution, and how they can develop basic services."

“WE ARE HOSTING LEADING STARTUP COMPANIES”

YTU Yıldız Technopark Deputy General Manager Isa Turgut Inci said, "We are hosting leading startup companies with the collaborations we have made today and we want to increase this scale. We have very serious partnerships especially in terms of increasing the overseas export capacities of our local IT companies. Within the scope of internationalisation strategies and e-export, we are able to deliver the grants provided by the Ministry of Trade to our companies with the accreditation of our International Technology Marketing Office. In this context, our entrepreneurs who want to get support can easily find support to increase their export capacity by contacting YTU Startup House officials."
