Meta and Yıldız Teknik University launch AI Builders Turkey program

The Muratpaşa Municipality’s ASSİM Technology Center in Antalya hosted a two‑day AI‑driven brand‑building and neuromarketing workshop for 40 participants, teaching them to use tools such as Canva, consumer‑behavior analytics and generative AI to develop digital brand concepts.

Separately, Meta partnered with Yıldız Teknik University to roll out the AI Builders Turkey competency program, aimed at training more than 500 Turkish developers, students and entrepreneurs. The curriculum, created by Meta’s Startup Bootcamp, covers Turkish‑language AI models—including Llama, AI Studio, Segment Anything Model, Code Llama and NLLB—plus integrations with WhatsApp Business and Instagram. The initiative will culminate in two hackathons slated for August 2026, providing hands‑on experience in building real‑world AI applications.
