Event Recap: How We Are Driving the Construction and Energy Transitions Through Smart Networking with the Innovation Corridor NRW-Turkey.
At the recent DEIK & NRW.Global Business Forum in Istanbul, we had the opportunity to participate in an in-depth and inspiring discussion on cutting-edge technologies. Together with NRW.Global Business and the Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey (DEİK), we used this platform to further strengthen technological cooperation and explore the opportunities presented by AI transformation between North Rhine-Westphalia and Turkey. For us at ROCKETHOME, this event demonstrated once again just how much power lies in cross-border partnerships for genuine climate protection and digital transformation.
For our CEO, Yüksel Sirmasac, this exchange is a matter very close to his heart. He highlights the event’s dynamic nature and its focus on practical solutions:
“As a bridge-builder, I combine technical expertise with cultural understanding to establish cross-border partnerships. At the forum in Istanbul, we discussed the opportunities presented by AI transformation between Germany and Türkiye. My key takeaway from the event: Just do it. How effective this approach is becomes clear in practice: Even while the event was still underway, we made contact with a startup whose solution we are now piloting with a client in Germany.”
What specifically is to be promoted in the Innovation Corridor
The discussions and workshops at the event highlighted the levers we can use to accelerate the construction and energy transitions through collaboration:
- Future-Ready Real Estate: We are seeking direct dialogue with Turkish companies that wish to make their properties internationally competitive and as energy-efficient as possible through innovative smart building standards.
- Digital Energy Providers: We want to actively support Turkish energy companies in successfully transitioning into decentralized, digital service providers—following the model of the Open District Hub.
- Strong Networks: Together, we are building a close-knit, resilient network to systematically advance the scaling of sustainable innovation projects in North Rhine-Westphalia, throughout Germany, and in Turkey.
Our Mission: Smart Connectivity for Real Estate and Energy
At ROCKETHOME, our mission is clearly defined: We are dedicated to the smart integration of real estate and energy. As a provider of digital solutions for buildings and neighborhoods, we offer the technological platform needed to put the construction and energy transitions into practice. We see ourselves as enablers, using technology to make the decarbonization of the building sector a reality.
The outcome of this event reinforces our commitment to our daily work: Together, we aim to lead the technological transformation of the construction and energy sectors and elevate economic relations between North Rhine-Westphalia and Turkey to a new, innovative level. Let’s shape the future together.
