What does it take to build what’s next?

Join Turkish Hub and the MIT Turkish Student Association for an open conversation with Can Bakır, CEO of AI Startup Factory by IsBank, on entrepreneurship, leadership, innovation, and the changing world of work.

As artificial intelligence reshapes how companies operate and how people build their careers, new opportunities are emerging for founders, professionals, and students. In this conversation, Can will share perspectives from his experience across technology, entrepreneurship, and the corporate world - and discuss what it takes to turn ideas into action.

Together, we’ll explore:

The future of work: How AI is changing organizations, roles, and the skills people need

AI in the corporate world: How established companies are approaching innovation and transformation

The Turkish innovation ecosystem: Opportunities for collaboration, proof-of-concept projects, and connections across the U.S. and Türkiye

Career and leadership: Navigating change, building teams, and making decisions in a fast-moving environment

Entrepreneurship: Lessons from building ventures and bringing new ideas to life

This will be an interactive conversation with time for audience questions. Whether you’re a student, founder, investor, or professional curious about what’s ahead, we’d love to have you join us.

Event format

We’ll begin with a 45-minute conversation with Can, followed by 15 minutes of audience Q&A. Afterward, guests will have time to connect and network with fellow attendees.

Whether you’re a student, founder, investor, or professional curious about what’s ahead, we’d love to have you join us.
