IsmetTasceken

Ismet Tasceken (born August 1993) is a Turkish businessman. He is a board member of Tasceken Holding, the family group active in construction, software and mining, and the founder and chief executive of Intelly. He holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, completed in 2016.

Tasceken founded his first company in 2011, at the age of eighteen. The business designed and produced custom jewellery for clients across Turkey and Europe, and was the first company in Turkey to sell handmade, made-to-order gold pieces online.

In early 2016 his technology company entered the fintech sector, developing financial and e-commerce products. In 2020, within the Covid-19 response led by Turkey's Ministry of Commerce, merchants across the country were given access to the digital transformation programme he had built.

Blockchain, he recognised, was the missing key to bringing real estate into the present age.

At Tasceken Holding he has taken part in the group's expansion from construction into high-quality residential development, travelling widely from a young age to extend its reach, and has carried out construction projects and real-estate investments in Turkey and abroad. In 2021 the group was named Turkey's Best Luxury Housing Development Company. Its current portfolio includes close to 1,000 luxury villas in Bodrum and Çeşme, together with hotel projects in both regions.

A blockchain investor since 2012, Tasceken founded Intelly on the conviction that the technology could bring real estate into the present age. Launched in 2021, the company held its premiere at the Palazzo Versace in Dubai and continues to develop the platform.
