Türkiye Innovation Week Aims to Boost Country's Innovation Leadership

Türkiye Innovation Week (TIW25) is anticipated to play a key role in Türkiye's goal of "becoming a leading country in innovation."

The event is being organized for the 12th time at the Halic Congress Center in Istanbul with the support of Türkiye's Trade Ministry and hosted by the Türkiye Exporters Assembly (TIM), The Caspian Post reports citing Anadolu Agency.

The main theme of the event to be held on Oct. 9-11 will be "Tomorrow: Now," addressing the AI transformation in a multi-layered manner.

TIM Chairman Mustafa Gultepe said that Türkiye Innovation Week is one of the most important steps they have taken to promote a culture of innovation in Türkiye, encourage innovative ideas, and pave the way for exports through high-value-added production.

Gultepe emphasized that they have been organizing Innovation Week uninterrupted for 12 years and announced that they have designed the event with a brand new vision this year.

He said this year’s theme “gives us the feeling that the future has never been so close, has never generated such comprehensive change, and has never been so eagerly anticipated. It's no longer a distant possibility; it's happening right now. The future no longer exists in calendars, but in artificial intelligence and code."

"Building on this powerful message, we are moving to implement the requirements of the future with the will of today. In this context, we've restructured Innovation Week around artificial intelligence," he said.

Gultepe said that the event will support entrepreneurs and young people, and that they will give awards to innovative entrepreneurs in different categories, as they do every year.
