Z-Port Support and Facilities
How Does Z-Port Work?
The Z-Port program is tailored to each startup's needs, so different steps may be followed for different startups. The general operating principle is as follows:
Vestel Ventures officials meet with the startup to determine its needs and mutually agree on opportunities that can assist the startup.
If the venture has the potential to collaborate with Zorlu Holding group companies, Vestel Ventures will work to introduce the venture to the relevant company.
If the relevant company agrees to cooperate with the startup, joint projects are developed, a PoC is made or a sales contract is signed.
Throughout the process, Z-Porter and Vestel Ventures reports, bulletins and studies are shared regularly.
Vestel Ventures employees stay in constant communication with Z-Porter and carry out additional work whenever the venture needs it.
To become a Z-Porter, you can tick "I want to be a Z-Porter" in the application form.

After meeting with Vestel Ventures, we met with many people who have contributed to us and the ecosystem. We felt the support of not only Vestel Ventures but all the institutions within Zorlu Holding. We discussed our business idea with people from various disciplines who are part of the Zorlu family in their offices in other countries, and we exchanged ideas on how we could adapt to their local markets. There were times when they even conducted market research for us in the local language in their own countries and provided us with data. For us, Z-Port is a connection point where startups integrate into the Zorlu family.

Thanks to our harmonious and solution-oriented work, we not only took our own system to the next level but also had the opportunity to launch an integration that would be suitable for Vestel. Z-Port's role as a catalyst in the initial steps of our collaboration with Vestel is undeniable."

Our meeting with Vestel Ventures opened the door to invaluable collaborations in our efforts to validate MaviKanatlar Teknoloji's operational capabilities in real-world conditions, and specifically in our requirements assessment and analysis efforts for our SeyirDefteri software. In this era when unmanned aviation technologies are irreversibly infiltrating the lives of organizations and individuals, the opportunity to collaborate with leading organizations in various sectors on the products we develop allows us to bring our timely ideas to life. Working with professionals who understand the value of real knowledge for real work also provides hope for the future.
"Z-port provided the necessary foundation for us to meet new companies. It also supported us in taking the right steps by mapping out the necessary steps in line with the company's goals. It enabled us to become more closely connected to the ecosystem encompassing sustainability efforts."
