The Story Behind the “AI and Innovation Leadership Program”
In 2014, our founder, Melda Akin, launched a mentorship and training program for high school and university students, aimed at helping them enter and advance in the technology industry. This program proved highly successful, with many participants securing positions at leading international tech companies such as Shazam in the US, Amazon in Luxembourg, Hepsiburada in Turkey, and Helmholtz in Munich, Germany.
Utilizing well-crafted resources and sessions, Melda Akin (learn more about Melda Akin) provided participants with a unique learning experience grounded in real business cases. Her expertise and accomplishments in the global AI and innovation arena highlighted the ongoing need for an academy led by a true 'woman in tech'. Recognizing this need, Melda founded Sirius Labs, a Tech Entrepreneurship and Leadership Academy, to develop future female tech leaders and entrepreneurs through comprehensive training and mentoring programs based on real business cases and experiences.
And that’s how the AI and Innovation Leadership Program was born.
Testimonials
Melda is perhaps the most impressive entrepreneur I've ever met. She saw the opportunities in Dubai and boldly moved there with literally nothing but an idea and the passion to succeed. She quickly established a solid network and found mentors who believed in her. What she has created in Dubai in such a short time -- her company D14 -- has been remarkable. D14 has already won major contracts and has established itself as a player in the Middle East Artificial Intelligence ecosystem. Melda brings to the table her personal values of hard work, fair play, respect for others, making smart choices, and taking risks, and combines those values with her innate passion, inquisitive nature, boundless energy, and dedication to excellence. She is a team-builder with a commitment to mentoring others, and she is a strong proponent of helping other women seeking careers in the technical fields. Watch this space -- there is much more yet to come from this very talented businesswoman!
