News from ITU ARI Teknokent
As İTÜ ARI Teknokent, we are pleased to announce that our Çekirdek entrepreneur Berkay Yılmaz has successfully completed his exchange in England under the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) programme.
During the exchange, Berkay worked closely with host entrepreneur Konstantinos Mavrokefalos on the PhishSolve project, contributing to the development of AI-based phishing detection and automated takedown workflows. In parallel, a Python-based, LLM-powered software tool with commercial potential was developed, ensuring strong alignment between technical execution and business objectives.
This experience significantly strengthened Berkay’s expertise in AI-driven cybersecurity solutions while enhancing his go-to-market, product validation, and business development capabilities within the European ecosystem.
EYE programme enables new entrepreneurs to work one-on-one with experienced founders across Europe, strengthening their technical, strategic, and operational capabilities, while offering host entrepreneurs fresh perspectives and hands-on contributions to their businesses. Whether you are a New Entrepreneur or a Host Entrepreneur, EYE provides a unique opportunity for cross-border collaboration built on mutual learning and shared value creation.
