STRATEGIC STARTUP-FOCUSED PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ITU ARI TEKNOKENT AND TOGG
THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY IS SHAPED BY DIGITAL HEALTH AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
ITU ARI Teknokent, one of Türkiye’s leading entrepreneurship and innovation centers, and Togg, Türkiye’s global technology brand in mobility, have established a strategic partnership to reshape mobility around digital health and artificial intelligence. Through this strategic collaboration, which aims to position Türkiye’s young and dynamic startup ecosystem at the center of the global mobility transformation, startups will have the opportunity to test their innovative technologies in real-world use cases and scale their solutions.
ITU ARI Teknokent, a pioneering entrepreneurship and innovation center in Türkiye, and Togg, Türkiye’s global technology brand in mobility, have signed a strategic partnership agreement to redefine mobility with a focus on digital health and artificial intelligence. Within the scope of the program to be implemented under the umbrella of ITU Çekirdek, startups developing advanced technologies will have the opportunity to work in integration with Togg’s user-centric mobility ecosystem and test their solutions in real-life usage scenarios.
Mobility Is Becoming a Living Space
Togg approaches mobility not merely as a transportation experience but as a holistic living space positioned at the intersection of smart devices, digital experience platforms, and sustainable energy solutions. Developed with the vision of “more than a car,” this mobility approach aims to deliver a connected, personalized, and data-driven user experience. In this context, digital health and artificial intelligence stand at the core of Togg’s mobility strategy.
ITU ARI Teknokent and ITU Çekirdek, on the other hand, provide a strong innovation infrastructure that has been preparing technology-based startups for global markets for years. Through this collaboration, advanced technology solutions required by the mobility ecosystem will combine with entrepreneurial dynamism, enabling faster validation and scaling. Startups selected for the program will benefit from opportunities such as developing pilot applications in Togg’s real mobility environment, product integration, technical validation, and strategic partnerships.
In this way, startups will gain not only mentorship and training but also the opportunity to develop field-tested and scalable business models.
Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence at the Center of Mobility
The program particularly focuses on digital health technologies that place driver and passenger health at the center, in-vehicle contextual artificial intelligence applications, image processing and sensor-based safety solutions, natural language processing systems, predictive analytics, and predictive maintenance technologies. Startups that develop solutions enhancing mobility experiences through personalization, safety, and improved quality of life are invited to become part of Togg’s open and user-centered ecosystem.
Startups That Will Shape the Future of Mobility Are Invited
This strategic collaboration aims to position Türkiye’s young and dynamic startup ecosystem at the center of the global mobility transformation. Through solutions developed with an open innovation model, startups focusing on digital health and artificial intelligence will have the opportunity to become key actors shaping the future of mobility.
Startups developing innovative solutions in digital health and artificial intelligence can apply to the program conducted through the ITU Çekirdek–Togg collaboration via the ITU Çekirdek website. Detailed information about the application process and the program is available at:
