Leading Companies in the Sector Met with Students
Leading companies from the technology, energy, and transportation sectors, including Türk Telekom, Epam Systems, Enerjisa Üretim, and İDO, participated as panelists.

Networking Area and Concrete Career Opportunities
The event began with a 25-minute interactive presentation and Q&A session by the Türk Telekom panel, followed by a presentation from Epam Systems. During the networking break following the panels, participants had the opportunity to meet individually with Epam, Türk Telekom, and İDO officials who had set up stands in the foyer area. One of the most notable moments at the summit, where all students received special name badges, occurred during the İDO panel. Following live interviews conducted on stage by İDO officials, one student was immediately offered employment, while three students received free round-trip tickets.
Various prizes were awarded to participants through a raffle held after the Enerjisa Production and İDO panels. Thank-you plaques were presented to the speakers who shared their knowledge and experience at the end of each session.
