The bridge between Türkiye's AI ecosystem and the rest of the world.
Helloturkiye.ai is an AI hub built by its community. We bring together the people shaping artificial intelligence in Türkiye: builders, creators, communities, and brands. Then we connect them with the global projects looking for a way in.
Why we exist
Türkiye is one of the world's most active AI markets today. Everyday users adopt quickly, and a serious generation of builders is forming underneath them. The talent is here and so is the appetite. What is missing is the connection. A place where global projects can reach this market, and where local builders can reach the world. That is what we are building.
Who we are for
Global projects.
Your entry point to Türkiye and the wider MENA region, with direct access to the builders, communities, and audiences that adopt early.
Türkiye's builders and brands.
Your route outward, to the partners, visibility, and opportunities that take local work global.
Companies adopting AI.
We connect you with the people who actually build it.
Who is behind it
Helloturkiye.ai was founded by Eray Yakar, who has spent the last four years doing one thing in different forms: taking strong global technology products and making them succeed in the Türkiye market. It began with a crypto community he built as a student, and a lesson that stayed with him. Technology only matters when it reaches the right people.
From there he helped organize Istanbul Blockchain Week, paired international projects with go-to-market strategy and the right audiences, drove growth and business development for a global exchange across Türkiye and MENA, and led TradingView's B2B presence in Türkiye, connecting its products with brokers, founders, and some of the country's biggest financial names.
The pattern has stayed the same. A strong product, a market waiting for a way in, and someone who can build the connection. AI is the biggest version of that story yet, and Helloturkiye.ai is where it comes together.
Hello, Türkiye.
