Shaping the Future with Ayşegül İldeniz

Artificial intelligence and digitalization are no longer just technology topics; they are strategic instruments redefining the global economy, social structures, and geopolitical balances. The “Age of Uncertainty” we are living in requires institutions not only to adapt to technology, but also to shape the future by deciphering the economic, cultural, and political codes of the new order.

In this context, on Thursday, March 26, 2026, Propeller Club Port of Istanbul is honored to host one of the most influential names in the global technology ecosystem, Ayşegül İldeniz.

We are talking about a leader who, as Vice President at Intel, shaped the technologies of the future from the heart of Silicon Valley. As COO of Silver Spring Networks, she personally managed how digital infrastructure was transformed into economic power by implementing smart city projects stretching from Chicago to Singapore, and from Copenhagen to Dubai. Today, as a Board Member at Doğan Holding, Pegasus Airlines, and Zorlu Holding, she provides strategic contributions to Turkey’s flagship institutions, while also serving as President of the TÜSİAD Silicon Valley Network, bridging global and local capital. Selected by Fast Company as one of the “100 Most Creative People in the World” and an Eisenhower Fellow, she is one of the rare visionaries who can analyze artificial intelligence not only from a technological perspective, but also from the perspectives of balance sheets, competition, and social transformation.

We will address the game-changing role of artificial intelligence in the global economy, because technology is no longer just a supporting element but a strategic force at the center of competition and growth. We will discuss how institutions can build resilience in a world where uncertainty has become the new norm, because sustainable success requires not just reflexes against crises but constant preparation and strategic flexibility. And we will evaluate Turkey’s position in the global competitive ecosystem, because seizing the right opportunities and managing risks are among the most critical steps that will determine our country’s future role.
