"Counterfake" at CES 2022, The Most Influential Tech Event in The World

Furkan Aslan, Thesis MSc in Computer Science graduate from the Graduate School of Engineering and Science at Özyeğin University and BIGG Program Graduate of the Fit Startup Factory, attended the Consumer Electronic Show (CES), the most influential tech event in the world, in Las Vegas, the US, from January 5 through 7, 2022 to introduce his startup “Counterfake”. In the pavilion installed for Turkish tech-entrepreneurs in coordination with the Ministry of Industry and Technology under the auspices of the Istanbul Development Agency (ISTKA), 28 startups showcased their new products and technologies for the first time.

Furkan Arslan, an Özyeğin University graduate who is one of the select few entrepreneurs representing Turkey at CES with his initiative “Counterfake”, has developed an artificial intelligence engine that detects the suspicious features of counterfeit products and distinguishes the original from the counterfeit by using the online images of the original product. Counterfake's unique algorithm analyzes products sold online and reports counterfeit products, rogue websites, and fake sellers to its customers. "Counterfake” also initiates removal for approved fake products.  To date, Counterfake, the brainchild of Furkan Aslan that garnered a great deal of attention at CES 2022, has scanned a total of 11,728 possible counterfeit products, and detected a total of 1,859 fake products. “Counterfake” is also awarded the TÜBİTAK BIGG grant and became a company, securing a 200,000 TL in grant support. 

We would like to congratulate our student on his achievement and wish him continued success.
