We Were at Istanbul Slush'D 2025
RNV.ai at Rixos Tersane — AI Productization, Global Scaling, and the Investment Landscape Across Europe & MENA
Istanbul Slush'D 2025, bringing together the stakeholders of the technology and entrepreneurship ecosystem, took place in October at Rixos Tersane. The event carried Slush's global vision to Turkey, creating a space for entrepreneurs, investors, accelerator programs, and technology leaders to gather for a deep exchange of ideas on the current dynamics of the tech world.
The goal of this year's Istanbul edition of Slush was to create not only a strong networking environment, but also a platform where entrepreneurs could make focused contact with investors, develop growth strategies, and engage in substantive discussions about business models capable of competing at global scale.
What Was on the Agenda
Speakers from different countries and sectors shared their experiences and perspectives across a wide range of topics:
The investment climate across Europe and MENA
Productization processes and how AI is reshaping them
Startup funding pathways and critical scaling milestones
Technology trends prioritized by investors
The key stages of the global customer acquisition journey
RNV.ai at the Event
We attended the event with our Growth Manager Naz Erda. Throughout the sessions, Erda closely followed how AI is reshaping productization processes, the impact of data-driven decision-making on company growth velocity, and the strategic steps taken by successful startups on their globalization journey. She also gained important insights into how the opportunities that AI offers in retail technology are being positioned in international markets.
We thank the Slush'D team and all contributing speakers for this valuable event.
