Eda Güner and Meliha Yıldırım, representatives of Trikotek, a subsidiary of Küçükler Holding, visited the Department of Industrial Engineering at Istanbul Gelişim University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture on November 17, 2025, and met with faculty members. The friendly atmosphere provided a productive opportunity for both information sharing and the emergence of new, forward-looking ideas.
During the meeting, project topics that will strengthen university-industry collaboration, internship and hands-on training opportunities that will better prepare our students for the industry, and potential collaborative projects focused on production processes were discussed in detail. The Trikotek team offered insights into the company's areas of activity, production approach, and engineering needs, while our academic staff shared our department's research culture, laboratory infrastructure, and student-developed projects.
The mutual interest and desire for collaboration during the visit served as a strong starting point for future collaborative projects. As the Department of Industrial Engineering, we believe that such meetings with industry representatives both foster vision for our students and offer tangible opportunities for their career paths.
We sincerely thank the Trikotek family for their kind visit and valuable contributions, and hope to meet again soon.
