Organized by the ITU Textile Engineering Club (İTÜTEK), the İTÜTEK 180” Summit was held twice in 2025, bringing leading figures of the industry together with students. The summit offered participants an unforgettable experience through inspiring talks, strong networking opportunities, and valuable conversations. This year’s event brought different stakeholders of the textile ecosystem under the same roof in two gatherings held on 28 April and 8 December.

The 180” Summit aims to provide participants with fresh perspectives on current topics and to foster a strong networking environment through its dynamic format, where each speaker answers a set of questions within 180 seconds.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Prof. Dr. Nevin Çiğdem Gürsoy, Dean of our Faculty, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Umut Kıvanç Şahin, Vice Dean of our Faculty and Club Advisor, for their valuable support in making the summit possible. We also thank the entire volunteer team who contributed to these special days, the participants who joined us, and our valued sponsors for their support.

The İTÜTEK 180” Summit will continue its journey as a meeting point shaping the future of textiles. See you at the next summit.
