The Turkish Airlines Terminal Startup Acceleration Program recently concluded with an inspiring Demo Day, marking the end of a transformative six-month journey. For Pivony, this program was more than an opportunity—it was a platform to grow, collaborate, and innovate alongside global leaders and fellow entrepreneurs.
Over the course of six months, startups in the program had the privilege of receiving comprehensive training from leading experts across multiple fields. Every workshop, mentorship session, and knowledge exchange was designed to equip founders with the tools they need to scale their businesses and sharpen their entrepreneurial mindset.
For Pivony, one of the most valuable aspects was the chance to develop a Proof of Concept (PoC) with Turkish Cargo. This project allowed us to explore real-world applications of our solutions in the aviation and logistics sector, demonstrating the potential impact of customer experience intelligence.
The PoC with Turkish Cargo stood out as a highlight of the program. Throughout the process, the dedication and ownership demonstrated by the Turkish Cargo top management were remarkable. Their commitment to innovation and collaboration created an environment where startups like Pivony could test, refine, and prove the value of their solutions.
This collaboration not only validated our approach but also strengthened our belief that partnerships between startups and enterprises can drive real, lasting impact.
Beyond corporate collaboration, the program also fostered a unique spirit of entrepreneurship and shared learning. The founders of the selected startups brought incredible dedication to the program, investing significant time and energy into Turkish Airlines’ initiative.
One of the most rewarding aspects was the opportunity to engage in genuine conversations with fellow entrepreneurs, exchanging diverse perspectives on common challenges and learning from each other’s experiences. These peer-to-peer connections remain a cornerstone of what makes acceleration programs truly transformative.
As the program concludes, we extend our sincere gratitude to Turkish Airlines, Turkish Cargo, and all mentors, experts, and partners who made this journey possible. The lessons learned and collaborations formed during this program will continue to shape our trajectory.
We’re excited to share more updates on Pivony’s collaboration with Turkish Cargo and Turkish Airlines in the near future. Stay tuned as we continue to expand our impact in the aviation, logistics, and customer experience sectors.
