This edition, the Global Startup Awards is taking place at a venue that’s as extraordinary as the innovations we’re celebrating—Esma Sultan Yalısı.

🏛️ Perched on the shores of the Bosphorus, Esma Sultan Yalısı is a place where history meets modern elegance. Once a royal mansion, now a breathtaking event space, it’s the perfect setting for a night dedicated to honoring the brightest minds in the startup ecosystem.

Here are some facts about this edition's beautiful venue:

1. A Royal Gift:
Built in the 19th century, Esma Sultan Yalısı was a wedding gift for Princess Esma Sultan, daughter of Sultan Abdülaziz. This mansion symbolizes Ottoman elegance.

2. Architectural Beauty:
The mansion blends Ottoman and European styles, originally designed as a wooden yali, showcasing the opulence of the era.

3. Iconic Location:
Located in Ortaköy, it offers stunning views of the Bosphorus and the iconic bridge, making it a prime spot in Istanbul.

4. Rebirth:
After a devastating fire in 1975, the mansion was restored in the 1990s. The new design combines historic brick with a sleek, modern interior.

5. Event Venue Extraordinaire:
Now an exclusive event space, Esma Sultan Yalısı hosts everything from weddings to corporate events, under the management of The Marmara Collection.

6. Striking Design:
The interior’s steel and glass contrast beautifully with the historic exterior, creating a unique blend of old and new.

7. Cultural Icon:
A symbol of Istanbul’s rich history, Esma Sultan Yalısı is a must-see for anyone intrigued by the city’s past and present.
