The highly anticipated TEKNOFEST TRNC 2025 officially opened its doors on Thursday in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), attracting tech enthusiasts, innovators, and visitors from around the world.
TEKNOFEST TRNC 2025 has seen tremendous participation, with over 47,000 applicants from 22 countries. A total of 268 teams, including 1,083 finalists, will compete in six main categories and 13 sub-categories, covering innovations in aerospace, robotics, software, and other cutting-edge fields. Among the finalists, 334 are women, and 749 are men.
This year, the festival features 116 stands, including 81 stakeholder stands, 11 sponsor stands, and four stands from participating companies/institutions, alongside 20 food court participants. The event also showcases national and indigenous aerial vehicles, with flight demonstrations from various aircraft, including the Bayraktar AKINCI, Bayraktar TB2, HURKUŞ, ANKA, AKSUNGUR, Gendarmerie Steel Wings, ATAK helicopter, Turkish Stars, SOLOTURK, and more.
Organized by the Turkish Technology Team (T3) Foundation and Türkiye’s Ministry of Industry and Technology, TEKNOFEST has become a key event for technological innovation and development. The festival, supported by numerous government bodies, private sector partners, and universities, has been held annually since 2018.
While TEKNOFEST is traditionally held in Turkish cities in even-numbered years and Istanbul in odd-numbered years, this is the second time an international host has been involved, following Azerbaijan’s hosting of TEKNOFEST in 2022.
In 2024, TEKNOFEST in Adana attracted over 1.1 million visitors, cementing the event's status as a major technology and innovation festival.
