Within the scope of BAU 2025 New Music Days organized by Bahçeşehir University, a panel titled “Game Changers: Behind the Scenes of Game Entrepreneurship” was held in collaboration with BAU HUB, BUG Lab TEKMER, and BAUTTO. Focusing on creative industries, the event addressed the intersection points of gaming, music, and entrepreneurship.
The panel, hosted by BAU Pera Conservatory, was moderated by Seda Satır, Director of BAU Hub & BUG Lab TEKMER. Dr. İsmet Aydın, Director of Pera Conservatory, also attended the event.
The panel featured Prof. Dr. Murat Yakın (Head of the Department of Music Technologies, BAU Conservatory), Celalhan Kirez (Co-Founder, Gedev Games), and Murat Sancaklı (Co-Founder, Funreal Games) as speakers. The participants shared valuable insights on the production processes behind game entrepreneurship, industry experiences, and the importance of interdisciplinary university–industry collaborations within creative disciplines.
We would like to thank all our speakers and participants who contributed to the realization of the panel, and we look forward to coming together again at upcoming events to be held in Pera.
