Istanbul, Türkiye
I work at the intersection of defense innovation, startup ecosystems, and international business development, focusing on building strategic partnerships across public institutions, corporates, and deep-tech startups. At Teknopark İstanbul, I design and execute ecosystem-level programs that connect 600+ startups and R&D companies with industry stakeholders, defense ecosystem actors, and international innovation networks. My work includes dual-use technology identification, structured B2B matchmaking, and cross-border collaboration initiatives. I specialize in enabling access to international funding mechanisms such as Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, and NATO DIANA, while also supporting defense-related innovation pathways in collaboration with national institutions. My focus is on turning fragmented innovation ecosystems into structured, high-impact collaboration networks that generate long-term strategic value.
