OUR JOURNEY

OUR TRAJECTORY

2023

Foundation and initial investment

Helios was officially incorporated in Istanbul and completed its first round of funding. With the backing of the Turkish Development Fund, we established our headquarters at Technopark Istanbul, laying the solid foundation for our journey.
