Dear readers,
Throughout 2024, we at Hello Tomorrow Turkey have undertaken exciting projects and events! With our startups building the technologies of tomorrow, our events strengthening the deep tech ecosystem, and our value-creating special projects, we have had a year filled with science & technology!
Hello Tomorrow Turkey Summit 2024 | February 22, 2024 | Istanbul
Once again, we brought scientists, entrepreneurs, and investors together at Turkey's largest deep tech summit! We held the Hello Tomorrow Turkey Summit 2024 on February 22 at DasDas Istanbul, connecting the leading innovators and investors in the science and technology-focused entrepreneurship ecosystem.
In the event where we addressed many pioneering topics from stem cells to gene therapy, and from particle physics technologies to sustainable health solutions, EyeCheckup - early diagnosis, one of Turkey's innovative ventures, won the first-place award. Our summit, which also hosted representatives from prestigious institutions like CERN, Oxford, and Cambridge, left its mark on 2024 as a platform where not only ideas, but also global collaborations and the technologies of the future are shaped.

At the Hello Tomorrow Global Summit 2024, we provided an experience filled with inspiration and progress at the center of innovation by connecting the technologies shaping the future with organizations, investors, and innovators from all over the world. In this unique experience, Turkish venture Sensemore.io, one of the 70 startups selected from over 4500 applications to present on our stage, shared its technology with the world's leading deep tech leaders and investors, gaining the chance to compete on the global stage.
Another venture from our Turkish network, Büyütech, which is among the 700 Deep Tech Pioneers, showcased its technology with a live demo to over 3000 participants in the showcase area. Additionally, on the second day of the event, we held a panel titled “Pioneering Deep Tech in Emerging Markets: Success Stories from the Thriving Turkish Deep Tech Ecosystem.” The panel was moderated by Timur Topalgökçeli, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Hello Tomorrow Turkey, and we discussed the deep tech ecosystem in Turkey by bringing together pioneering advanced technology startups Kozalak Yangın, Büyütech, and Sensemore.io along with Pınar Öncü, Managing Partner of Etki GSYF.
LAUNCH LLM Impact Program
In 2024, we continued to support early-stage technology ventures with the third iteration of our LAUNCH Academy! This year, taking our strong collaboration with Meta one step further, we implemented the LAUNCH LLM Impact Program in partnership with the Turkey Artificial Intelligence Initiative (TRAI). By harnessing the power of large language models (LLMs) technology, we provided mentorship and strategic support to 17 startups operating in various sectors. The finale of our program took place with a grand closing at the Artificial Intelligence Summit held on December 31. We once again congratulate our successful startups Argevim, Carbon Consulting, Co-one, Counterfake, Kimola, SafeVideo AI, Saha Robotik, SKYMOD, and Stockimg AI.
As LAUNCH Academy, we will continue to grow the innovation ecosystem, empower technology ventures, and build the future together in 2025!
