With 44 years of experience, Empa Elektronik, a trusted and pioneering company in the electronic components industry, is set to make transformative investments in the technology ecosystem through its collaboration with Fark Labs, a global innovation and transformation center.
Commenting on the partnership, Empa Elektronik CEO Murat Sarpel stated:
“Through this collaboration, we will be introduced to new investment areas, new ventures, and entirely new opportunities.”
Fark Labs Founder Ahu Serter emphasized that their goal is to transform Empa Elektronik beyond being a sector-leading technology supplier into a company that invests in, grows with, and guides startups developing the technologies of the future.
Offering comprehensive technology supply services with a broad product portfolio that includes semiconductors, power electronics, electromechanical components, and other advanced solutions, Empa Elektronik will undertake investments poised to reshape the technology landscape as part of its collaboration with Fark Labs.
CEO Murat Sarpel noted that this partnership will enable Empa Elektronik to adopt a technology- and investment-driven structure, positioning the company early in rapidly growing sectors.
“Together with Fark Labs, we will engage with new investment domains, new startups, and brand-new opportunities. This collaboration allows us to identify the true potential of startups at the earliest stages and invest at optimal valuations in fast-growing fields such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, energy efficiency, smart battery systems, autonomous technologies, and sustainable materials.”
Sarpel also highlighted that Empa Elektronik will gain access to next-generation companies expanding into European and U.S. markets, potentially as investors, business partners, or customers.
“This process will not only deliver financial returns but will also strengthen our position as a brand that leads sectoral transformation and shapes technological trends.”
Combining Investment with Next-Generation Advisory
Fark Labs Founder Ahu Serter described Fark Labs as an innovation and investment hub accelerating the future in areas such as mobility, electrification, renewable energy, industrial technologies, and sustainable materials.
“We combine investment with next-generation advisory. Unlike traditional venture capital funds, we are an active, execution-oriented player that delivers growth engines. We invest in intellectual and mental capital, accelerating sectoral transformation through practical intelligence and applied expertise.”
Serter underlined that the collaboration aims to elevate Empa Elektronik beyond a leading technology supplier into a strategic investor shaping the future of technology-driven ventures:
“We see this partnership as a strong step toward positioning Empa as one of the most strategic investors of the future. At Fark Labs, we do not merely present a list of investment opportunities—we enable Empa Elektronik to identify high-potential startups at the earliest stages, enter at the right valuations, and generate maximum financial and strategic returns.”
She concluded by emphasizing their ambition to transform Empa Elektronik into not just a financial investor, but a growth partner that actively supports portfolio companies through strategic collaborations, knowledge sharing, and market expansion, helping them scale rapidly and sustainably.
