We conducted a technical visit to Istanbul Technokent, a technology development zone established through the partnership of Istanbul University (IU) and Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa (IUC), located in Avcılar, Istanbul.

During the visit, participants had the opportunity to closely observe software-focused R&D environments and gain practical insights into how academic research is transformed into industry-ready technological products. Istanbul Technokent hosts a diverse ecosystem of startups and R&D companies operating in areas such as software engineering, artificial intelligence, data science, health technologies, and digital product development.
