Why it matters
The composition of the speaker list shows that the event addresses not only entrepreneurial circles but also senior executives from traditional sectors such as retail, aviation, energy, and banking. The inclusion of names from global companies such as Tencent, TikTok, and YouTube in the same program as Türkiye-based institutions reflects an effort to build a connection between the local ecosystem and the global technology agenda. Webrazzi Arena, meanwhile, represents an opportunity for the startups that will take the stage to gain visibility in front of investors and industry representatives. The prominent place of artificial intelligence in both the topics and the speaker profiles confirms the weight of this field on the ecosystem’s agenda. The full program schedule, which is not included in the text, and which startups will be selected for the Arena are among the questions awaiting answers as the event date approaches.
