Since 2012, the Big Bang Startup Challenge has hosted many successful startups and has been the cornerstone of countless success stories. For the 2023 edition, we introduced the Big Bang All Star session for the first time, bringing to the stage the post-Big Bang journeys of hundreds of successful startups.

From now on, every year we will see some of the world’s most successful startups that have gone through Big Bang back on stage.

Let’s take a closer look at the startups we hosted on stage at Big Bang 2023 with Serdar Kuzuloğlu’s entertaining conversation. In this article, you’ll find the success stories of Büyütech’s rise in the automotive industry, RePG’s renewable energy projects and Vivoo’s achievements in health technology.

Büyütech stood out in the 2020 Big Bang Startup Challenge. Co-founder Ömer Orkun Düztaş shares the journey and goals of Büyütech, a 9-year-old startup that has entered the automotive sector.
