Built in İzmir

Venture Vibe | Built in İzmir 2026 is a high-level access platform designed to connect Türkiye’s ambitious founders and companies directly with key decision makers from the Middle East.

Organized in partnership with YABİSAK, IZQ and in collaboration with ENSİA, the summit goes beyond a traditional conference format. It is structured to create real business outcomes through direct engagement, curated conversations, and pre-scheduled B2B meetings.

On April 28, selected speakers and ecosystem leaders actively engaged in investment, cross-border expansion, and ecosystem development from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and Lebanon will be in İzmir to share first-hand insights and build direct connections.

This is not a generic international panel.

It is a strategic opportunity to access the people who can open doors in the region.

Instead of spending time and significant budgets traveling across the Gulf and wider Middle East region to initiate relationships, this summit brings key regional actors directly to you.
