Istanbul: Türkiye’s largest aerospace and technology festival, TEKNOFEST, is set to begin Wednesday in the southern city of Adana, offering a five-day celebration of innovation and technology at Adana Sakirpasa Airport.

The festival will feature a variety of events, including air shows with warplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters, as well as seminars, summits, competitions, and fairs.

This year’s edition will focus on technology competitions across numerous categories, such as smart transportation, rocket design, biotechnology, robotics, flying cars, rockets, and unmanned underwater systems.

Adding to the excitement, the festival will host the inaugural TEKNOFEST Champions League, where winners from tech competitions involving 790,000 teams and over 1.65 million participants will vie for a prize of 500,000 Turkish Liras (approximately $14,600). This three-day competition will showcase Türkiye’s top technology teams.

Organized by the Turkish Technology Team Foundation (T3 Foundation) in collaboration with Türkiye’s Industry and Technology Ministry, TEKNOFEST has a tradition of being held in various Turkish cities.

The event is held in even years outside of Istanbul and in the metropolis during odd years.

Last year, to commemorate the centenary of the Republic of Türkiye, the festival took place in three locations: Istanbul, Ankara, and the Aegean resort city of Izmir.

Anadolu has served as the global communication partner for TEKNOFEST since 2018, further underlining the festival’s role in promoting technological advancement and innovation in Türkiye.
