WHY PARTNER

ISTANBUL IS
THE ARGUMENT.

For one year the case for the region gets made in a single building on the Bosphorus — where Europe, the Gulf, and a generation of Turkish founders are in the same rooms, on the same days. Partnering isn't a logo on a wall. It's a position inside that argument: in front of the founders, the funds, and the operators deciding where the next decade gets built.

PARTNERSHIP DISPLAY
PARTNERSHIP

WAYS TO PARTNER

Every partnership is custom-built. These are the foundations we start from — reach out and we'll shape the rest around your goals.

Partner Booth
01 / 04

FLAGSHIP PRESENCE

Partner Booth

A large, fully customizable home base on the main floor. Run demos, host an invite-only lounge, or put your team's sharpest content on a mini-stage — and book founder meetings straight to your booth through the event app.

Lead Generation
02 / 04

QUALIFIED LEADS

Lead Generation

The room is curated, not sold — founders, investors, operators, and the people moving capital across three regions. Scannable badges and a built-in lead tool mean you leave with a clean list of real connections, not a stack of business cards.

Partner Side Events
03 / 04

YOUR OWN STAGE

Partner Side Events

After pre-booked meetings, side events are the most-attended thing we run. Host your own dinner, breakfast, panel, or party in the Partner Side Event Wing — under the same roof as the main event. We bring the venue, the volunteers, and the right invite list.

Brand Visibility
04 / 04

SEEN EVERYWHERE

Brand Visibility

Show up across the experience, not just at one stand — stage lockups, venue signage, the event app, and the broadcast that carries Istanbul to the people who couldn't make it. Visibility built into the moments people actually remember.

WHERE PARTNERS START

PARTNERSHIP TIERS

Entry points, not packages. Each one is a starting line — we tailor the activations, scope, and visibility from there. Full detail and investment levels live in the partner deck.

DIAMOND

Top-tier presence across the whole event — stage, venue, broadcast, and the headline association.

GOLD

Premium visibility and activation footprint, a step below the headline tier.

STAGE

Own a session, fireside, or stage moment in front of the full audience.

VC

Built for funds — deal flow, founder access, and LP visibility.

TECHNOLOGY

For the tools powering the event — product placement woven into the experience.

STRATEGIC

A deeper, bespoke partnership tied to a shared long-term goal.

ECOSYSTEM

For the hubs, programs, and institutions building the region with us.

MEDIA

Editorial and distribution partners who help carry the story.

LET'S BUILD IT

GET IN THE
ROOM

Tell us who you are and what you're after. We read every one — and we'll come back with a partnership shaped around it.
