Teknofest: Celebration of technology across Türkiye

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

The event alternates between Istanbul and a different city. Last year, to commemorate the centenary of the Republic of Türkiye, the festival took place in three locations: Istanbul, the capital Ankara, and the Aegean resort city of Izmir.

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