Dr. Uyar’s contribution: AI as a strategic capability, not just an efficiency tool
Dr. Tevfik Uyar shared perspectives on both the risks and opportunities of strategic AI adoption, especially when AI is treated not as a trend, but as a long-term capability that reshapes how organizations design processes, make decisions, and create value.
Drawing on SAFEJETS’ experience building intelligent, scalable, and sustainable software solutions for global markets, Dr. Tevfik Uyar emphasized a core point echoed throughout the event:
We are in a revolution, not an upgrade. AI is not a tool anymore. It’s an actor. And actors must be governed.
Key discussion themes included:
- Decision-making: where AI supports better, faster, and more consistent decisions
- Resilience: how modern systems help organizations adapt under uncertainty
- Digital sovereignty: the importance of control, governance, and trust in digital ecosystems
- Long-term value creation: building solutions that remain sustainable, secure, and scalable
- Uncertainty: uncertainty created by technological revolution
A Platform for Meaningful Dialogue and Collaboration
The event opened with inspiring remarks from Mr. M. Emrah Sazak, Executive Director of BULTISAD, and Mr. Michail Petrov, CEO of Schwarz IT Bulgaria, emphasizing the importance of trust, ecosystems, and responsible technological leadership in today’s interconnected business environment.
Following the panel, participants continued the discussion during a networking cocktail, further strengthening cross-border dialogue and collaboration within the Bulgarian–Turkish business ecosystem.
