The vision of IZU (Sabahattin Zaim University) is to become a distinguished international research university known for its exceptional academic and physical infrastructure. The university aims to produce graduates who are highly sought after, whose publications serve as reference materials, and who are pioneers in specific fields. IZU aspires to rank among the top five foundation universities. IZU offers a wide range of colleges, including the College of Education, College of Law, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Islamic Sciences, College of Business and Management Sciences, College of Engineering and Natural Sciences, and College of Health Sciences and Sports Science. The university features a technopark located on campus where scientific innovations are transformed into successful products. The Technology Transfer Office (TTO) at IZU acts as a liaison between the colleges and the technopark, facilitating the transformation of ideas into marketable products. IZU encourages interdisciplinary research and development among its colleges to drive innovation. The university administration is dedicated to establishing new technologies on campus to inspire students to engage in cutting-edge technology development. I also represent an organization called SYG - Strategic Innovative Initiatives LLC, which holds over 60 patented deep tech technologies. One of our key developments is a Robotic BBPV treatment device that achieved a remarkable 96.7% success rate in clinical trials. In 2024, it was recognized as one of the top 10 ENT solution providers in the USA, standing out among global giants such as Olympus, Ackermann, and Philips. We are currently working on integrating AI support into this device. Additionally, our renewable energy technology has been selected by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as a promising solution to reduce carbon emissions in the world's seas. Out of numerous technologies worldwide, we were among only three selected for this recognition. We are now focused on adapting this technology for use in microgrid power generation, offshore applications, WAP applications, and 5th Generation District Heating and Cooling (5GDHC). Another groundbreaking technology we are developing involves Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), utilizing a patented method to transform desert sand into large parabolic solar collectors. These collectors can generate gigawatt-level heat for hydrogen and ammonia production. We are actively seeking partners to implement this technology in the field. I also represent Fatigpro LLC, a spinoff of SYG that specializes in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Our sensor technology has been recommended by BOEING to the aviation standards organization for adoption as the standard sensor for all aircraft. It is lightweight and energy-efficient, making it ideal for applications in space, railroad, aviation, and naval sectors. Currently, we are working on adapting our technology for AI-based automatic insurance policy generation for naval vessels. Additionally, our technology is well-suited for digital twin applications as it can accurately reflect the current state of vessels, bridges, wind turbines, offshore platforms, pipelines, aircraft, space stations, satellites, and reusable rockets. We welcome offers to explore various application possibilities for our technology.
