Aksigorta Provides 600,000 TL Grant Support to Sensed AI and SmartIR Startups

Aksigorta, as a traditional partner of ITU Core, has added another support to the assistance it provides to startups. Every year, Aksigorta revitalizes successful initiatives with innovative and life-enhancing business ideas. This year, it supported startups developing artificial intelligence technologies in the fields of building and infrastructure health and safe driving at the Big Bang Startup Challenge.
