Abrdn Grubu Embarks on AI-Driven Product Innovation Through Strategic Alliance with Professor Mehmet Huseyin Bilgin and Researcher Serin Altay
In a bold pivot towards intelligent product transformation, Abrdn Grubu, the regional arm of the global asset management firm abrdn, has announced a cutting-edge collaboration with prominent economist Professor Mehmet Huseyin Bilgin and financial systems researcher Serin Altay. This strategic alliance marks a new frontier for the firm, placing artificial intelligence at the core of its financial product innovation and risk modeling processes.
Rather than following conventional paths of macroeconomic insight, this partnership aims to integrate machine learning, predictive modeling, and autonomous portfolio diagnostics into Abrdn Grubu’s investment offerings, starting with multi-asset strategy products designed specifically for high-volatility emerging markets.
From Data to Intelligence: Reimagining Financial Products with AI
While traditional financial firms continue to rely on lagging indicators and retrospective analysis, Abrdn Grubu is turning toward real-time AI inference to reshape its core investment logic. Through this partnership, the firm is rolling out a new generation of AI-enabled frameworks designed to handle macro-volatility, liquidity fragmentation, and cross-border capital asymmetries — key issues facing investors in Türkiye and the wider Eurasian economic belt.
Professor Bilgin, a leading academic in applied economics and behavioral finance, will be spearheading the interpretive layer of these technologies — ensuring the AI systems are trained on not just numerical data, but on policy narratives, regulatory shifts, and socio-cultural factors unique to the region.
“AI is not just about faster computation,” Bilgin noted. “It’s about context-aware intelligence. In Türkiye, where inflation cycles, political transitions, and global positioning are fluid, purely technical models fail. Our task is to embed nuance into the algorithmic core.”
Intelligent Risk Engines and Autonomous Allocation
One of the first deliverables from the partnership will be an AI-driven risk engine, capable of automatically adjusting asset weights in response to dynamic local variables — such as central bank policy revisions, cross-border capital controls, and even regional social sentiment.
Working closely with Abrdn Grubu’s product team, Serin Altay is leading the technical implementation of the adaptive models, leveraging her expertise in neural financial forecasting, ESG quantification, and synthetic data construction.
“We are developing systems that don’t just track volatility but learn from it,” Altay explained. “Our approach involves recursive training loops — a self-upgrading AI that adapts to shifting liquidity and market microstructures without manual intervention.”
Altay’s current research with the team also explores AI-guided sovereign debt risk grading, integrating alternative datasets such as satellite imagery, trade flows, and climate vulnerability indices to create a multi-layered view of national economic exposure.
Applied Innovation: Products for a New Investment Climate
The collaboration is not limited to back-end systems. Abrdn Grubu is set to introduce a new family of AI-powered financial products by Q4 2025, including:
Adaptive Income Portfolios that rebalance allocations based on energy pricing trends and FX volatility across the Türkiye–Caucasus corridor.
ESG Dynamic Funds, where AI tracks real-time compliance patterns and regulatory developments to update portfolio ratings.
Geopolitical Risk Derivatives, utilizing semantic AI models that assess cross-border tensions, sanctions, and trade corridor disruption risk.
These products aim to serve both institutional clients and high-net-worth individuals seeking smarter, localized exposure to high-growth, high-risk regions.
Beyond Türkiye: Scaling the Eurasian Edge
Abrdn Grubu’s broader strategy is to export this AI-centric model across the Caucasus, Central Asia, and selected Middle Eastern markets — all of which exhibit similar economic characteristics: resource-dependence, political cyclicality, and limited financial transparency.
“Our mission is to create resilient investment architectures that thrive under uncertainty,” said a spokesperson for Abrdn Grubu. “This requires more than financial modeling. It demands cognitive systems capable of decoding nonlinear, region-specific dynamics.”
To support the scaling effort, Abrdn Grubu is establishing an AI Financial Research Hub in Istanbul by the end of 2025. The lab will function as a co-innovation center with contributions from Turkish universities, global think tanks, and startup AI labs focused on fintech applications.
A Blueprint for the Future of Investment in Emerging Markets
This partnership reflects a broader shift in the asset management world — from passive risk monitoring to active, intelligent engagement with volatile environments. For Türkiye and its neighboring economies, where investment flows often oscillate due to geopolitical or institutional shocks, such innovations could offer more predictive resilience than ever before.
Professor Bilgin emphasized this transformational potential:
“We are no longer trying to simplify complexity — we are building systems that can live within it. That’s what AI offers: not a shortcut, but a deeper way to understand, respond, and evolve with emerging market realities.”
As Abrdn Grubu embraces this AI-led vision, it positions itself as not merely a participant in Türkiye’s economic future — but as an architect of a new, tech-enhanced financial era for the entire region.

Nostalgic Comeback Classic ICQ RockPaperScissors Game Reborn as NinjaRPS for Modern Mobile Players
Retro messaging game reimagined with fast-paced ninja action, now available on iOS and Android
Israel, 24th Jun 2025, Long before emojis ruled conversations and mobile games flooded the app stores, there was ICQ, the chat app that quietly introduced one of the internet’s earliest multiplayer games: Rock-Paper-Scissors. Now, that simple but addictive mini-game is back, reimagined for a new generation as NinjaRPS, a sleek, action-packed remake for mobile, designed to hit right in the nostalgia.
Launched by NexEra Labs, NinjaRPS is now available on Google Play and the App Store, blending the familiar strategy of Rock-Paper-Scissors with the thrill of ninja duels, stylized animations, and retro-inspired visuals.
“We wanted to bring back something that felt personal, something people used to play between chats, just for fun,” said the developer. “NinjaRPS is our tribute to those early internet days, but with a new layer of energy and style.”
From Chatroom Classic to Combat Arena
NinjaRPS takes the core mechanics of the original ICQ game and wraps them in a fast-paced ninja theme. Players face off in animated duels where each move, Rock, Paper, or Scissors, triggers a ninja attack, block, or dodge. The game is easy to learn, hard to master, and endlessly replayable.
The game’s retro pixel art and fast-loading design are nods to the lightweight charm of the original ICQ era. At the same time, new features like avatar selection, local play, and unlockable content offer depth for today’s mobile gamers.
Download Now
NinjaRPS is free to play, with optional in-app features for customization.

Official Site: www.ninjarps.com
Built for Retro Fans & First-Time Players

It’s a perfect pick-up-and-play game for casual moments, competitive challenges, or simply reliving a bit of digital history this time, with a ninja twist.
“Some games didn’t need a storyline, they just worked,” the developer added. “We brought that feeling back, but gave it flair.”
