Rector's Message

Dear Students, Esteemed Parents, and Cherished Friends,

As "The Industry University," OSTİM Technical University’s primary objective is to cultivate graduates capable of transforming science and technology into practical solutions for the betterment of the world. We equip our students with cutting-edge technological expertise alongside essential entrepreneurial skills—both of which are vital to our mission. Our close collaborations with the business world, industry, and the public sector serve as the driving forces behind our success. These partnerships enable us to play an active role in the economy.

Our second objective is the generation of new knowledge. We pursue this through our incubators, technology parks, and a range of technology funding and support programs designed for our students, faculty members, and enterprises. We actively encourage our students to develop new products, technologies, and start-up ventures.

We aim to cultivate a highly qualified human capital capable of shaping the future. To this end, we are committed to educating individuals equipped with the knowledge and competencies demanded by the modern world. Our students will possess a broad vision, hands-on learning skills, and a deep curiosity to question and seek answers. They will be able to dream boldly, create innovative designs, and bring their ideas to life. They will embody an entrepreneurial spirit, demonstrate strong teamwork abilities, and take initiative when necessary—all while striving for professional excellence. Moreover, we ensure that our students develop cultural awareness and humanistic values, enabling them to become individuals who make a positive impact on society.

OSTİM Technical University is a “third-generation” university. While “second-generation” universities primarily focus on scientific research and education, they often operate within a framework where businesses apply the knowledge developed in academia. This division of labor has led to a gap between universities and industries. In contrast, the “third-generation” or “entrepreneurial university” seeks to break down these barriers for the benefit of society, placing the university, the business world, and industry at the very heart of the production and innovation process.

In today’s world, education goes beyond mere theoretical instruction. It empowers both students and academics to enhance their capacities in developing patents, utility models, industrial designs, and trademarks within the framework of university-industry collaboration. Our primary focus is to promote innovation, contribute to the economy, and facilitate commercialization through entrepreneurship. Through our “entrepreneurial university” approach, we align our scientific and technological activities with industry, thereby adding value to the national economy. By generating original projects and solutions—and establishing the necessary mechanisms for their implementation and commercialization—we aim to foster the development of both our region and our country. Backed by the intellectual capital produced by our distinguished academic staff, we are working towards becoming one of the world’s leading universities in our field.

I warmly invite all of you to join us in this endeavor and to learn from one another as we work together to make the world a better place.

Prof. Dr. Murat Yülek

Rector of OSTIM Technical University
