Quick Recap:
Türkiye AI Summit 2025 brought together over 1,500 business and tech leaders in Istanbul.

The crowd’s response was clear: they want AI that drives outcomes, not just conversations.

Türkiye AI Summit 2025: Where AI Meets Business Reality

On October 23, the Wyndham Grand Levent turned into the epicenter of AI innovation. Over 1,500 professionals - from CEOs and startup founders to data scientists and policymakers - explored what’s next for applied AI. Organized by TRAI and co-sponsored by NVIDIA and HPE, the event’s theme, “AI: More Real Than Ever,” hit the mark. The talk wasn’t about possibilities anymore, it was about impact already happening.

Why It Mattered This Year

Türkiye is rising fast as a regional AI powerhouse. More public support. More enterprise investment. More results. This year’s summit reflected that shift - fewer prototypes, more production-ready solutions.

For DealBooster, this wasn’t just another conference. It was a gathering of business leaders looking for AI that moves the revenue needle. Compared to the more IT-heavy HPE Innovation Day, this audience brought in decision-makers from sales, operations, and growth - exactly the crowd DealBooster builds for.

What We Showed

At HPE’s booth, DealBooster unveiled its AI Sales Simulator - a training system where salespeople practice live conversations with a virtual sales avatar. Visitors tried scenario-based sessions, saw instant feedback, and experienced how AI can actually coach, not just score.

While many booths played videos or clicked through decks, ours sparked real interaction. One visitor summed it up perfectly: “This is the first time I’ve seen AI that actually trains you, not just analyzes you.”

What We Learned

• People connect with dialogue, not dashboards.
  
  
• Local relevance drives adoption - Turkish demos were in high demand.
  
  
• Leaders want AI that empowers people, not replaces them.
  
  

These takeaways echo our belief that AI should boost human capability, not overshadow it.

Trends Defining Türkiye’s AI Momentum

• Generative AI making its way into business ops, CX, and training.
  
  
• Growing focus on AI ethics, regulation, and responsible data use.
  
  
• Rising demand for scalable, simulation-based learning solutions.
  
  

Top sponsors like NVIDIA, HPE, Microsoft, and SAP showcased how infrastructure and large language models are coming together to push this next wave forward.

Our Key Takeaway

The event confirmed what we’re driving toward: practical, human-like AI that makes training measurable. The local response was strong - especially from HPE Türkiye and other partners looking to localize simulations for their teams. Within days, we were already working on Turkish materials and exploring new collaborations.

A big thank you to everyone who joined, competed, and made the experience unforgettable.
