We are writing to provide further clarification on our application for the 2026 Eureka Global Innovation Summit and to more clearly articulate how our work at OBA PERDESAN TECHNICAL TEXTILE INC.  is firmly rooted in industrial biotechnology.

Our core focus is the conversion of waste streams into innovative biopolymers using biological processes.

Our Biotechnology Connection: Our waste conversion processes rely on bioprocesses such as microbial degradation and enzymatic reactions. Our biopolymer production is based on fermentation-based biomanufacturing.

Prestigious Endorsements: Our R&D projects in this field are funded by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye) and the World Bank, serving as concrete validation of our work in developing sustainable and scalable biotechnological solutions.

Our mission is to contribute to the circular economy through industrial biotechnology. We aim to share this innovative approach with global stakeholders at the Summit.

We kindly request that our application be reviewed with this clarified perspective in mind. We are available for any further discussion and to provide more detailed information.

As a manager with extensive experience in the business world, I specialize in company establishment, quality process management, human resources management and R&D center establishment.

While producing sustainable solutions with the projects I carry out in the field of waste and treatment systems development, I also develop innovative projects for the energy sector, especially hydrogen energy. I aim to add value to the sector by taking part in many innovative projects, especially EU projects and international collaborations. With my interdisciplinary approach and extensive technical knowledge, I continue to develop innovative solutions by taking an active role in projects that bring industry and academia together.
