Abidin Özler: “Those who do not adapt to change fall behind”

Abidin Özler, founder of MEDITEK Software, highlighted the role of technology in occupational health and safety. Özler stated: “Technology is constantly evolving. We cannot say that humanity has discovered everything. Even in the 1800s, the head of the U.S. Patent Office said, ‘There is nothing left to be invented.’ But development and change never stopped, and they never will. We cannot be closed off to technology; on the contrary, we must use it extensively and correctly. Today, those who do not keep up with this change are left behind.”

At the end of the event, Head of the Department of Occupational Health and Safety Asst. Prof. Rüştü Uçan presented a certificate of appreciation to Abidin Özler.

The event, which attracted significant interest from students, concluded with a group photo.
