MELISA SABANCI TAPAN
My passion lies in making a meaningful difference across business, finance, politics, and art. From a young age, I was motivated by a desire to create positive change.
One of my most prominent initiatives is Gate 27, the international residency program I founded and continue to lead. Gate 27 is an international creative and production ecosystem that brings together art, innovation, and sustainability through an interdisciplinary approach, providing space for transformative and visionary projects.
Sakıp Sabancı
Chat Bot
To honor the legacy of my beloved grandfather, Sakıp Sabancı, and to carry his valuable ideas into the future, we launched the Sakıp Sabancı Chatbot with the support of Sabancı University and Conscious Lab. This project involved developing an artificial intelligence model that captures his knowledge and vision by using the speeches, interviews, and written materials he produced throughout his life. As the first initiative of its kind in Türkiye, the chatbot was introduced during a commemoration event that gathered those who knew and loved him. Through this bot, we can now engage interactively with his vision and continue to be inspired by his vision.
