Mirleon AI took the stage at the Demo Day of the Deep TechAnkara 2026 Acceleration Program—held for the third time this year, hosted by Teknopark Ankara—on 24 June, presenting its AI-powered product AI-Mate to investors. As one of the 17 deep tech startups selected from among 98 applications to the program and earning the right to take the stage on Demo Day, Mirleon AI did not merely introduce its technology; it also shared its business model, growth strategy, and global scaling vision, holding one-on-one meetings with investors.
Over the course of the nearly four-month program, the participating startups received training, mentorship, and business development support, presenting the solutions they developed in strategic fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, education technologies, health technologies, advanced materials technologies, and industrial digitalization to investors, corporate companies, and ecosystem stakeholders. Drawing keen interest from Türkiye's leading investors, venture capital funds, corporate company representatives, and public-sector stakeholders, the event became an important meeting point for new collaborations and investment opportunities.
Speaking at the opening of the event, Ankara Development Agency Secretary General Assoc. Prof. Duhan Kalkan, LL.M., noted that Ankara possesses a strong innovation ecosystem with its organized industrial zones, research centers, technoparks, and universities, emphasizing that programs of this kind—bringing entrepreneurs together with investors—carry strategic importance for Türkiye's high value-added production and technology-focused development goals. Dr. Damla Turan, Director General of R&D Incentives at the Ministry of Industry and Technology, shared targets regarding Türkiye's 2030 vision in the field of technology entrepreneurship, stating that the entrepreneurship ecosystem plays a critical role in high value-added and technology-focused development. Hasan Gültekin, Chairman of the Board of the İvedik Organized Industrial Zone and Teknopark Ankara, for his part, underlined that artificial intelligence and deep technologies are no longer merely a technology agenda, but have become defining elements of production, defense, healthcare, energy, and global competition.
As Mirleon AI, we are proud to be part of this strong ecosystem with AI-Mate and to contribute to Türkiye's vision of producing high value-added technology. On this occasion, we extend our thanks to Teknopark Ankara and the Ankara Development Agency for the valuable support and mentorship they provided. With our understanding of artificial intelligence as a tool that protects human dignity and creates value, we will continue to produce.
