The 2nd regional event of the "INMerge" Innovation Summit 2025 organized by "PASHA Holding" was held

"INMerge Innovation Summit", which aims to become a global innovation platform, continued its activities with an overseas event as the next step. Held on April 29, 2025 in the heart of Istanbul, this event took place in partnership with "Tenity".

The highlight of the event was the "INbattle" startup competition, organized to showcase Turkiye's most promising startups. The competition, to which more than 50 startups applied, attracted great interest. After the selection process, only 10 startups were selected to present their solutions to the jury, of which one startup won. The event, which brought together nearly 200 participants, including leading entrepreneurs, investors and ecosystem participants, provided an attractive environment for discussions on corporate innovation, startup development and investment opportunities. In addition, the event served as a dynamic platform for selected startups to participate in the INMerge Innovation Summit to be held in Baku on September 29-30, 2025.

Another highlight of the event was a speech by Fahed Bizzari, Partner at Bellamy Alden AI Consulting and AI Transformation Specialist. He shared his thoughts on “The Emerging Ecosystem of AI and its Impact on Investment Strategies.” The event then continued with a panel discussion titled “Turkey as the Next Innovation Hub: From Strategy to Scaling.” The panel featured leading representatives of the innovation environment in Turkiye and the region: Yeliz Erinckan - Head of Strategy and Innovation at Sabancı ARF, Itir Urunay Aydogan - Director of Ecosystem Banking and Innovation at Yapı Kredi, Sabina Babayeva - Head of Istanbul Hub at Tenity, Enis Hulli - Partner at E2VC, as well as Ahmet Cuneyt Selcuk - Manager of the Financial Investments Department at the Investment Office under the Presidency of Turkiye.

It should be noted that in addition to Turkiye and Georgia, PASHA Holding plans to hold regional events of the INMerge Innovation Summit in other countries. Also, the main event will take place in Baku in September and detailed information will be shared later.
