The 2nd GEV Future Summit, organized under the leadership of Gedik Education Foundation (GEV) and Istanbul Gedik University, will open its doors on June 3, 2026 at the MEXT Technology Center.

The journey we started last year within the triangle of education, technology, and employment is being carried forward this year with a focus on entrepreneurship under the main theme “The Ecosystem of the Future: From Entrepreneurship to the Future.” Our aim is to position Türkiye’s human capital not only as a qualified workforce but also as an “innovation power” that produces, develops new ideas, and creates tangible value.

Why "From Entrepreneurship to the Future"?

We believe that sustainable development is possible not only with people who will carry out existing jobs, but with individuals who can generate their own ideas, bring these ideas to life through technology, and grow within the investment ecosystem. For this reason, we set out to prepare our young people and all our human capital not only for the professions of the future but also for the ideas of the future and brand-new entrepreneurial initiatives.

What Awaits Us at the Summit?

At our summit, where we will bring together investors, technology leaders, entrepreneurs shaping the ecosystem, and bright young talents under the same roof;

• Türkiye's rapidly growing startup culture,
• AI-powered next-generation business models,
• Entrepreneur–investor collaborations,
• The global competitiveness of the ecosystem will be discussed from multiple perspectives.

Through panels and special sessions featuring experts from both national and international fields, we will explore the ecosystem of the future from different perspectives.
