The 12th Türkiye Innovation Week (TIW25) in Istanbul is preparing to contribute to the country’s goal of becoming a leader in innovation.

The event will take place from 9–11 October at the Haliç Congress Centre and will focus on the “Tomorrow: Now” theme, highlighting the transformation brought by artificial intelligence (AI).

TIM Chairman Mustafa Gültepe said the event aims to promote a culture of innovation, support new ideas, and pave the way for exports through high-value-added production. This year’s edition has been redesigned with a fresh vision, centred around AI.

The week will cover strategic topics such as AI’s impact on global competition, government visions, the transformation of design in creative industries, evolving business and career models, and the creation of billion-dollar startups. Over 120 expert speakers are expected to take part.

Legendary football referee Pierluigi Collina will share his leadership skills, while Gerard Grech will discuss his experience developing the UK’s startup ecosystem.

The event will also support entrepreneurs and young people, with awards presented to innovative entrepreneurs across various categories.

With Anadolu serving as the global communications partner, TIW25 will highlight projects aimed at strengthening Türkiye’s leadership in AI and innovation.
