It was an honor for us to take part in the Artificial Intelligence Summit organized by EGİAD (Aegean Young Business People Association) and ESİAD (Aegean Industrialists and Business People Association) in İzmir. The event brought together business leaders, innovators, and policymakers to discuss the evolving role of AI in our world and we were proud to be part of it.
Our Co-Founder & CRO Vorga Can, joined the panel to represent Novus and share how we’re building Dot to help organizations embrace the future of intelligent systems. The conversation was honest and inspiring, focusing on how AI is transforming operations, decision-making, and strategy across industries.
The event opened with speeches by Sibel Zorlu and Kaan Özhelvacı, followed by remarks from Cemil Tugay, Mayor of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, and Süleyman Elban, Governor of İzmir. Their reflections on the region’s growing innovation capacity set the tone for a powerful day.
Sharing the panel with Ali Rıza Ersoy was a particular honor for us, alongside other respected names like Burak Aydın, Kerem Bozokluoğlu, and İrem Poyraz. The session was skillfully moderated by Çiçek Çizmeci and closed with an unforgettable keynote from Levent Erden, who brought bold energy and thought-provoking insights.
Huge thanks to the EGİAD and ESİAD teams for the warm welcome and thoughtful organization. İzmir, you were incredible, as always.
