Hello advocates and welcome to the July Global Tech Advocates newsletter.
2
It was great to see many of you here in London
3
during the month of June for London Tech Week for South by Southwest London.
4
I got to see many of you here and
5
so there's information in your newsletter about everything that happened in the month of June if you weren't here in London.
6
I've also been to Toronto recently with our new Tech Canada Advocates leadership
7
and I did what I call an East Coast swing with New York, Boston and DC meeting with our advocates there.
8
A lot of great things happening across North America which you can read about in the newsletter.
9
I'm really delighted to introduce three great advocates on this video to talk about GTA Istanbul 2026
10
which is our next GTA summit happening in October.
11
So I'm going to ask each to just share their perspectives on what's got them excited.
12
So Atta, let me come to you first.
13
Why is this the right moment for Turkey and what makes Istanbul such a fitting location for our next GTA summit?
14
Thank you, Ravaz.
15
Well, why Istanbul?
16
Why now?
17
Just look at the calendar.
18
This week, NATO leaders are meeting in Ankara.
19
In September, JITEX makes its Turkey debut in Istanbul.
20
In October, we've got the GTA summit, obviously.
21
In November, world leaders arrive in Antalya for COP31.
22
Next year, Istanbul is hosting European games before the 2036 Olympics.
23
Formula One is coming back to Istanbul.
24
We've got the Europa League final and Turkey will co-host Euro 2032.
25
So the world is booking Turkey and our summit puts the global tech community right in the middle of the momentum.
26
And the tech story has earned its place on the calendar as well.
27
Turkey's exports have cost $5 billion, up nearly 38% year over year.
28
Total startup deal volume reached around $2.6 billion in 2024.
29
So we've got over six unicorns being built at home.
30
And Turkish founders are building more abroad, from Falei to Carbon Health in San Francisco to Udemy before them.
31
So what we're looking at is basically the global network of founders with Istanbul in its center.
32
Which brings me to geography.
33
Don't want to use the tired East meets West cliché.
34
We were talking about the Turkic Tech Corridor now.
35
An arc from Brazil through Europe, across Turkey and to the Turkey Republics, all the way to Japan.
36
And it's already real.
37
Kazakhstan's Caspi acquired Epsu Borada for over a billion dollars, which was the capital moving along the secure corridor
38
and Istanbul is where a London investor for example
39
or a founder from Tashkent and a fund from Almaty can sit at the same table.
40
And finally the community TechTurkey Advocates has grown past 150 members now in its first year.
41
And TechTurkey Advocates played a really significant role during London Tech Week.
42
Turkey had the largest pavilion during London Tech Week.
43
The Turkish ambassador hosted a great reception where we talked about the GTA summits.
44
Thank you for that context and clearly And really, Istanbul, where we're going to be, is such an important meeting point.
45
So Andrew, I want to come to you next, which is very much, you know, describe this meeting point of future-ready leaders that we're going to bring together.
46
What does being future-ready mean to you?
47
And what should people take away from this trip to Istanbul?
48
If we think about future-ready, it isn't about predicting the future because no one is able to do that.
49
No one knows exactly what is coming.
50
It's really about building that capacity to adapt, to learn, to reinvent before circumstances forces to do that.
51
And technology alone doesn't make organizations future ready.
52
What matters more is people, it's leadership, it's culture, and most of all,
53
it's the ability to make better decisions during uncertainty and
54
if we look at that it's skyrocketing at the moment
55
so the most successful ecosystems are the ones that collaborate
56
that experiment and
57
that really learn faster than the world around changes that's why i would say the summit is really really important
58
and we're bringing together very different perspectives as atas said from turkia to Central Asia,
59
but also to communities rebuilding under extraordinary circumstances.
60
All of that to understand that future ready leadership needs to define itself.
61
We need to understand what it really looks like in practice.
62
And if people leave Istanbul, I would like them to not ask what's next, but I would like them to say,
63
how do I become ready for whatever comes next?
64
And if that happens, we have achieved something meaningful.
65
Thank you for that.
66
And Yildiz, this summit is being built around collaboration and connection.
67
So which opportunities do you hope it will create for founders, investors, and technology communities across the region?
68
Connectivity and collaboration is really what we have been working towards during the last one year for this upcoming summit.
69
We are very excited about that.
70
I just would like to mention that we established this summit on four pillars.
71
Turkey as a regional anchor, Central Asia as a rising region, Re-Invention, EdSpeed and GTA community's future.
72
So in addition to Turkey and future readiness under pressure,
73
we will be talking about Central Asia as the raising power and we will connect all the relevant people in one room.
74
So these topics are between GTA community in every room,
75
but we are bringing together all these teams in one room with the most relevant to the point people.
76
We will be also discussing the GTA Future State 2036.
77
So we will be covering all the topics relevant to GTA community.
78
That's great.
79
Thank you, Yildiz.
80
And thank you to all three of you and your communities.
81
This summit is co-supported by TechTurkia Advocates and TechEurasia Advocates.
82
It's the 7th, 8th and 9th of October in Istanbul.
83
There's a link in the newsletter to the website page that summarizes all of the information.
84
We will continue to update that as more details come into play for what we're planning to have happen in October.
85
So in the meantime, do register your interest.
86
We'd love to know if you're interested in coming.
87
We hope to see you at GTA Istanbul 2026 in October.
88
Thanks, everyone.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
