Enerjisa Enerji Continues to Make a Difference with Technology and Impact Center

Enerjisa Enerji, which leads its sector through projects and services centered on people and technology, continues to make a difference with its new Enerjisa Enerji Technology and Impact Center, which has provided innovation and entrepreneurship training to 750 university students to date.

Within the scope of Sabancı Youth Mobilization, launched by Sabancı Holding with the vision of converting brainpower into brainpower, Enerjisa Enerji, which supports youth in accessing innovation and technology, hosts university students at the Enerjisa Enerji Technology and Impact Center located in the Customer Service Center in Ankara Söğütöz, which stands out with its digitally equipped and interactive Energy Tunnel.

Sabancı Youth Mobilization, spearheaded by Sabancı Holding, was launched to unlock the innovation and entrepreneurship potential of university students. One of the projects under this scope was realized by Enerjisa Enerji, which focuses on digital transformation in the energy sector and innovative applications and has supported many entrepreneurs in recent years.

Converting brainpower into brain capacity

Enerjisa Enerji brought together a total of 750 students from 88 different universities under Sabancı Youth Mobilization, launching a large-scale learning and development journey. The project, which will continue to expand in 2025, focuses on digital transformation and innovative applications in the energy sector, aiming to increase young people's awareness of career opportunities in this field. Converting brainpower into brain capacity to inspire young people, who are our country's most valuable treasure, emerges as the ultimate goal.

Within the scope of the project, 7 different sessions were organized in 2024 alone, presenting striking information to participants from different universities on various topics such as entrepreneurship fundamentals, trends in the energy sector and digital transformation solutions. The content of innovation and entrepreneurship training encompassed customer-centeredness, design-thinking and open innovation approaches, forming the foundation of the entrepreneurship ecosystem. By addressing the effects of technological developments such as generative artificial intelligence, e-mobility and sustainable energy technologies, which are among the new trends in the entrepreneurship ecosystem, the contribution of innovation to economic growth, the creation of new markets and employment was emphasized.

Söğütöz Customer Service Center Transforms into Enerjisa Enerji Technology and Impact Center

The host of the Technology and Impact Center is the customer service center that Enerjisa Enerji first realized its new concept in Ankara Söğütöz last year. The Söğütöz Customer Service Center, designed with technology and innovation in the forefront and with a focus on sustainability, has acquired a new title with the Enerjisa Enerji Technology and Impact Center. The center, enriched with inspiring spaces such as the energy tunnel within it, has become a platform where young people will host innovation and entrepreneurship training, come to know the sector closely and develop their projects.

During the intensive training process at Enerjisa Enerji Technology and Impact Center, 750 students from 88 universities expanded their sectoral knowledge and experience and had the opportunity to develop their own projects.
"We must find the way to convert our young people's high potential into high productivity"
University students, Sabancı Holding and Enerjisa Enerji came together at the mobilization meeting, and entrepreneurs previously supported by Enerjisa Enerji's technology and innovation programs NAR and İVME also participated.

Enerjisa Enerji CEO Murat Pınar said: "The path to advancing in technology and innovation areas that will take our country to the top on the global stage does not lie only in following current dynamics, but also in ensuring that ideas and talents that will shape the future remain in our country. We want our young people to utilize their potential in our country. With their innovative thoughts and energy, they are the driving force of the transformation essential for our country. Preventing brain drain and enabling our young people to utilize their potential in our country is not only a social issue, but also a critical step in achieving our sustainable development goals.

Our responsibility as the energy sector is not limited to our financials and operational investments. At the same time, we see ourselves as a bridge to ensure that valuable projects and those who produce them remain in our country and serve economic growth, employment and technological development here.

As Enerjisa, we have been working on productivity for a long time with the 'better future platform for everyone'. Our young people's high potential is a starting point for high productivity. However, productivity is concerned with how much of the potential is effectively utilized. An organization, individual or system can achieve high productivity by making the best use of its potential."

We are inspiring young people today

Ersin Esentürk, General Manager of Enerjisa Retail Sales Companies, said that he is pleased to host the Söğütöz Customer Service Center and Enerjisa Enerji Technology and Impact Center, which he takes pride in being the first and only innovative structure in the sector: "When we decided on an innovative service center in the retail sales sector, our focus was on technology, innovation, sustainability and of course a journey extending into the future. We were not limited to what we had to do, but it was always our priority to inspire the sector and our country by bringing the unthinkable to life. That is why, with Sabancı Youth Mobilization and similar initiatives, we not only see our young people as the leaders of the future, but also inspire and guide them today through our center, which will enable them to experience and live Enerjisa's sustainability mission and spirit of innovation firsthand.

The support we provide to the entrepreneurship ecosystem enables our young people to bring their innovative projects to life and make individual and social contributions. In this process, through the mentoring, financial support and collaboration opportunities we provide them, we contribute not only to individuals, but also to positioning our country's energy sector to make an international-level difference.

I also particularly commend all contributions based on voluntarism and am particularly pleased with the mission undertaken by the Söğütöz Customer Service Center. I hope we can share this journey, which continues to grow exponentially in 2025, together."

Digital Transformation and Youth in the Energy Sector

In line with Enerjisa Enerji's vision of supporting the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, the İVME and NAR programs, which were brought to life, the İVME Program offers product scaling, growth and commercialization opportunities to innovative ventures shaping the future of the energy industry, while accelerating sectoral innovation in areas such as Renewable Energy Storage, Smart Grids and E-Mobility. The NAR Program enables creative ideas developed by Enerjisa employees to receive investment and be commercialized. These programs, which have contributed to the success of more than 10 ventures to date, continue to add value to the entrepreneurship ecosystem with financial support, mentoring and collaboration opportunities.
