Aydin, the students were received by Muhammed Ozhan, CEO of TTV. Also present at the
meeting were 3 managers of TTV with Industrial Engineering backgrounds, namely, Mr.
Salim Yilmaz, Mr. Rasit Turkmen and Mr. Orhan Akyurek, who are in charge of business,
product and strategy development at Turk Telekom (TT).
TTV was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Turk Telekom Group in February 2018
in order to support the core activities of early / mid stage start-ups which have high growth
potential and synergies with the telecommunications sector, in order to invest directly money
and/or capital in kind to such start-ups and create value from their growth.
During the visit, the students were able to listen from the TTV executives a comprehensive
presentation on their company activities and benefit from their experiences on issues related
to the professional business life. Besides, the potential areas of cooperation between Istinye
University and TTV such as IoT, Smart Cities, Digital Health and Education, Fintech, and
Business Intelligence, were also discussed.

About
The Faculty
As the College of Engineering faculty and as I the Dean, we are well aware of the fact since 1960s science and technology is steadfastly advancing, becoming more complex and affecting our daily lives in more profound ways. We are also seeing that the problems we are facing are much more different than what we have seen and their solutions require much more complicated, deeper and interdisciplinary methods than ever before. Every single technology now requires a team effort of research and development, with team members with vastly different scientific and technological expertise, ranging from biological sciences to electrical and computer engineering.
Dean’s Message
Prof. Çetin Kaya Koç
Dean
As the College of Engineering faculty and as I the Dean, we are well aware of the fact since 1960s science and technology is steadfastly advancing, becoming more complex and affecting our daily lives in more profound ways. We are also seeing that the problems we are facing are much more different than what we have seen and their solutions require much more complicated, deeper and interdisciplinary methods than ever before. Every single technology now requires a team effort of research and development, with team members with vastly different scientific and technological expertise, ranging from biological sciences to electrical and computer engineering. Imagine if we decide to build an “bionic eye” that allows blind humans and animals to see. Such an effort requires close collaboration of electrical engineers, computer engineers and computer scientists together with ophthalmologists and eye surgeons. Indeed, today no significant project with human and societal dimension can be successfully carried without team effort.The faculty in our 6 departments will collaborate very closely in research and education. There are no walls between departments. We are a single College of Engineering with a dedicated faculty that with one another and also with all researchers and faculty at Istinye University.
