Regarding Teknofest

Dear Members,

As is known, our Ministry of Industry and Technology carries out its activities with the mission of realizing the National Technology Initiative, which will enhance our country's global competitiveness, ensure its economic and technological independence, and enable breakthroughs in critical technologies. The development of human capital, one of the most crucial components of the National Technology Initiative, holds a significant place among the Ministry's activities. TEKNOFEST Aviation, Space, and Technology Festival, organized with the contributions of institutions and organizations that play a critical role in our country's national technology development processes, has become one of the largest platforms of the National Technology Initiative through events such as technology competitions, science and engineering activities, air shows, and entrepreneurship summits.

TEKNOFEST also has international recognition and engagement. Technology competitions held within the festival feature participants from over 100 countries. The events are visited by numerous foreign mission representatives and delegations. TEKNOFEST provides opportunities to establish collaborations in defense, aviation, and space industries between our country and other nations.

In this way, it lays the groundwork for increasing our country's visibility, reputation, and the number of nations connecting with Türkiye from around the world. TEKNOFEST, the world's largest Aviation, Space, and Technology Festival, will be held in Şanlıurfa in 2026, a city distinguished by its millennia-old history and deep-rooted civilizational heritage. Taking place at GAP Airport from September 30 to October 4, 2026, TEKNOFEST will continue to host Türkiye's largest prize-awarded technology competitions with renewed categories each year.

The deadline for applications to TEKNOFEST 2026 technology competitions is February 20, 2026. Raising awareness of the competitions across all segments of society is of great importance for the festival to achieve its goals. In this regard, the application process for the technology competitions under TEKNOFEST 2026 has begun.
