SUNS Technology Co-founder Nezire Tosun Speaks at YTÜ Panel on AI and Entrepreneurship

On 12 May 2026, SUNS Technology co-founder and AI developer Nezire Tosun took the stage at Yıldız Technical University (YTÜ) for a panel called "Entrepreneurship and Digital Transformation in the Age of AI". The open-air event was organised by the YTÜ IEEE Student Branch together with Yıldızlı Projeler as part of the "Yıldızların Arasında" (Among the Stars) series. The session brought engineering students face to face with people currently building AI products and running AI teams, rather than talking about the field in the abstract.

Who spoke at the panel?

Four speakers from different corners of Türkiye's tech and entrepreneurship scene joined the discussion:

• Nezire Tosun — Co-founder / AI Developer, SUNS Technology

• Berkin Aktaş — Development Team Lead, Narbulut

• Semih Dilsiz — Chief Commercial Officer, İş Bankası Group AI Factory

• Sebahattin Ünlü — Co-founder & CEO, AIHEAR Technology

That mix meant students heard from a corporate AI unit inside one of Türkiye's largest financial groups as well as from founders running younger companies, all in the same session.

How were entrepreneurship and digital transformation discussed?

The panel covered three connected questions: what opportunities AI is opening up for new startups, how digital transformation is unfolding inside large companies, and what engineering students can do now to be ready for that shift. The event's motto set the tone: "You don't become an engineer just by attending class!" The speakers shared their hands-on experience and answered students' questions.

Representing SUNS Technology, Nezire Tosun shared the perspective of a young software company founded in Istanbul in 2025 and its experience in AI projects. At the end of the session, the speakers received certificates of appreciation from the organisers.

Why does SUNS Technology take part in university events?

We see events like this as part of how we contribute to the software and AI ecosystem in Türkiye. Panels, workshops and student meetups are one of the few places where people building AI systems today can talk directly with people about to enter the field.

This is not the first time SUNS Technology has joined a student-facing event. Beyond panels, we offer internship and job opportunities for young talent through our careers page. Seeing which real problem an algorithm learned in class solves in the field helps students make clearer career decisions.
