Only 2 days left until Webrazzi Summit 2026. The event will be held on October 21 at Wyndham Grand Istanbul Levent. Taking place in Webrazzi’s 20th year, the conference will begin with an opening speech by Webrazzi Founder and CEO Arda Kutsal, while 50 startups will showcase their products and services up close at the Startup Lounge area.
The event will take place across four halls. The Disrupt hall will cover the use of AI in the business world and the future of payment experiences, with global growth and voice technologies also on the agenda. The Grow hall will address the transformation of retail and marketing along with new commerce models. Growth strategies of next-generation brands will also be discussed. The Venture hall will feature global success stories from Turkey. The future of the gaming industry and investment in the AI era will also be covered. The Academy will host investment trends and hands-on AI workshops.
Webrazzi Arena is returning this year. Selected startups will share their projects with the jury and participants. Participants will be able to access the program, schedule meetings, and take advantage of online networking opportunities through the Webrazzi Events app on the App Store and Google Play Store. Those arriving by private car will be able to use the Özdilek AVM parking lot, while those coming by public transportation will be able to use the Levent station on the M2 metro line.
Why it matters
The fact that artificial intelligence is addressed as a separate topic in three of the program’s four halls shows that the agenda of Turkey’s startup ecosystem is being shaped around this technology. The summit, which coincides with Webrazzi’s 20th anniversary, is not just a conference where talks are listened to; through the 50 startups in the Startup Lounge and the returning Webrazzi Arena, it creates space for startups to gain visibility and build connections. The ability to schedule meetings via the Webrazzi Events app also highlights the event’s business matchmaking function. The program’s topics of investment trends, global growth, and new commerce models indicate that the summit is relevant not only to entrepreneurs but also to investors and corporate executives. On the other hand, the announcement does not disclose which startups will be selected for the Arena or who will make up the speaker lineup beyond the opening session.
