History

The foundations of TÜBİTAK BİLGEM were laid in 1968 under the name of Electronics Research Unit (EAU). The first studies were started with 5 researchers under the chairmanship of Prof. Dr. Yılmaz Tokad in the Middle East Technical University Faculty of Engineering building, In 1972, the Electronics Research Unit (EAU) moved from Ankara to the Marmara Research Institute (MAM) Campus in Gebze and continued its work within the body of MAM. Between 1980-1983, Semiconductor Technology Research Laboratory (YİTAL) was established in order to provide knowledge in the field of "Microelectronic Technology", to carry out research and development studies in this field, and to produce strategically important integrated circuits.

In 1991, the Electronics Research Unit (EAÜ) was transformed into the Department of Electronics and Semiconductor Technology. In 1995, the department was transformed into an institute called National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology (UEKAE). In 1998, UEKAE was separated from the Marmara Research Center and affiliated to TÜBİTAK Presidency. In 1999, Advanced Technologies Research Group (İLTAREN) was established within UEKAE.

In 2010, two important institutes within TÜBİTAK –TÜBİTAK National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology (UEKAE) and Information Technologies Institute (BTE), which previously operated under TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center (MAM)– were combined under TÜBİTAK BİLGEM (Informatics and Information Security Research Center). Software Technologies Research Institute (YTE) affiliated to TÜBİTAK BİLGEM was established in 2012. In the same year, Cyber Security Institute (SGE) and Advanced Technology Research Institute (İLTAREN) affiliated to TÜBİTAK BİLGEM were established.

(IZE) Artificial Intelligence Institute

Artificial Intelligence Institute is the first institute established within the scope of TUBITAK centers and institutes, which cuts the sectors and research fields horizontally and focuses directly on the emerging technology field. For this reason, it constitutes an innovative model in terms of both the open innovation and co-development approach of the institute and its focus on emerging technology.

Artificial Intelligence Institute aims to develop core technologies in the field of artificial intelligence and bring these innovations from the forefront of science to the use of the industry as soon as possible. Focusing on the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, it will continue to play its part in pioneering efforts to create and sustain artificial intelligence-based innovation, growth and productivity in Turkey. Working with industry and public institutions in Turkey, together with other organizations within the artificial intelligence ecosystem, spreading the use of artificial intelligence and increasing the workforce specialized in this field are among its primary goals.
