Salih KÜKREK, founder of SANLAB — the first technology company sent to Silicon Valley by the STATE — became a Technology Entrepreneur with the aim of nationalizing technologies in the fields of simulation and robotics. The steps he took at the pioneering venture SANLAB earned him the award for one of the top 10 technology entrepreneurs from TÜBİTAK, one of the top 5 young entrepreneurs from KOSGEB, and one of the top 10 innovation companies from TİM.

Operating within Gebze Technical University Technopark, Ankara Garaj X Tekmer, and SSB Technopark Istanbul, he has pioneered the development of high technologies for the defense, aviation, maritime, automotive, and education sectors. Through his effective and constructive communication approach, he has positioned SANLAB as a trusted solution partner and a solid approved supplier for both national and international leading companies.

He has regarded sharing the experience he has gained as the "zakat of knowledge," and since 2013 has launched social projects titled "Technology Entrepreneurship Experience Sharing," "R&D for the Future," and "Digital Transformation in Education." As a result, thousands of teachers and tens of thousands of students across dozens of universities and hundreds of high schools have gained greater awareness in the fields of education, science, technology, and entrepreneurship.

This is a favor from my Lord. It is a test for me, to see whether I will show "gratitude" or "ingratitude." (27/40)
