First steps towards great heights: within the framework of the development program of "Turan-Astana" University (Strategic Direction 5 — promoting entrepreneurship and startup culture), the "TAU Startup Battle 2025" student startup competition was organized, where students from our METU University achieved outstanding success.

Three teams from our university participated in the competition, presenting their creative and innovative projects.

The “Venture Gate” team (Dias Ruslanuly Kadyrkul — BIO-25-1r, Erik Abilmansur — PI-25-1.4r) presented their project under the slogan “Compact and Technological.”

What’s especially exciting is that, in this competition, which included master’s students and senior-year students, it was the first-year students who took the prize-winning positions!

We sincerely congratulate them! We wish them new ideas, inspiration, and great professional achievements!
