This process brings with it a series of opportunities and challenges. As the Department of Computer Engineering, we take the responsibility to lead and contribute to this change. Entrepreneurship is an important focal point in this field. The emergence of new ideas is a process in which entrepreneurs play an important role in realising these ideas. As a university, we create a strong foundation for our students to initiate and successfully execute their own projects with the support and training we provide in this regard. Digitalisation enables the emergence of new business models as well as increasing efficiency in the business world. At this point, it is of great importance that our students have a strong digital infrastructure and gain competence in this field."
