In 2021, Aziz Murat moved to the Netherlands under a Startup Visa, laying the foundation for Navbea. He chose the Netherlands for its strong innovation system, startup-friendly policies, and access to global markets. “The Netherlands offers one of the most dynamic and wellconnected startup environments in the world.

Our incubator TNW helped us gain access to strategic connections, financial opportunities, and insights into scaling in new markets. Especially when expanding my business model beyond RTLS. Recently I also co-founded Wisemenu, together with a Turkish professor. This is an innovative startup in the digital dining space.”

Navbea’s first large-scale project after settling in the Netherlands was the Dubai Museum of the Future. “We deployed smart tracking solutions and IoT technology to enhance visitor experience, optimize security, and improve operational efficiency.”

This marked the beginning of Navbea’s rapid growth, working on international projects such as the Coca-Cola Museum, HP, NASA Space Center Houston, Georgia Aquarium, and Azerbaijan’s largest theme park. “We are developing scalable RTLS solutions that will drive digital transformation across multiple industries. These collaborations provide us with the opportunity to co-create nextgeneration tracking technologies.”

Navbea is set to expand further by opening an office in Dubai in early 2026. Aziz Murat believes that cross-border collaboration is the key to success, especially between Turkey and the Netherlands. “The Netherlands was our gateway to the European market. The Startup Visa program is an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to scale globally. Strengthening partnerships between Dutch accelerators and Turkish tech hubs can create a bridge for high-potential startups entering the European market. My advice? Be adaptable, build a strong network, and embrace the Dutch ecosystem. It is welcoming, innovative, and full of opportunities.”
