Türkiye Innovation Week 2025 to Be Held on October 9-11
The Türkiye Innovation Week, now in its 12th edition and organized by the Türkiye Exporters Assembly (TİM), will be held at the Haliç Congress Center from October 9 to 11.
Türkiye Innovation Week 2025, organized for the 12th time by the Türkiye Exporters' Assembly (TİM), will open its doors at the Haliç Congress Center between October 9 and 11 under the theme “Tomorrow: Now.” The event, held under the coordination of the Ministry of Trade and hosted by TİM, will, as is customary, feature an address by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
In this new era where artificial intelligence is reshaping numerous fields—from production to export, and from defense to education—Türkiye Innovation Week 2025 will explore the transformation from diverse perspectives. As people, cultures, and business models are redefined, the event will unite technology leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, students, and public sector representatives under a shared vision.
“For us, innovation is not a choice, but a necessity”
Commenting on the event, TİM Chairman Mustafa Gültepe stated, “Innovation is not an option but a necessity in our quest to position Türkiye among the top 10 exporting nations. If we do not integrate our production strength with high technology and artificial intelligence, we risk falling behind in global competition. As exporters, we express our devotion to our country with the words, 'Our job is production, our strength is export.' At TİM, we regard innovation not merely as technological output but as a way of thinking and a way of life. For 12 years, Türkiye Innovation Week has remained the most powerful platform embodying this vision.”
The innovation ecosystem is strengthening
TİM approaches innovation not as a standalone project but through a holistic ecosystem perspective. While encouraging corporate innovation through İnovaLİG, it strengthens university-industry cooperation via the İnoSuit program. With the İnovaTİM network, it cultivates the innovation leaders of the future; and through the TİM-TEB Startup Houses, it fosters a grassroots entrepreneurial culture.
The solutions developed do not remain as mere concepts but are translated into tangible competitive advantages in Türkiye's exports. As a result of these efforts, Türkiye has recorded a noteworthy rise in the Global Innovation Index in recent years. This ascent reflects the international recognition of Türkiye's innovation capacity and demonstrates that Türkiye Innovation Week is advancing steadily towards its strategic objectives.
Online registration has begun
Throughout the event, a multifaceted experience will be offered to visitors through panels featuring world-renowned speakers, masterclasses, innovative exhibitions, experiential zones, and workshops. The transformative impact of artificial intelligence will be explored through real-world cases spanning from production to defense, and from education to law. Türkiye Innovation Week will offer a vision that transcends technology, placing culture, people, and new business paradigms at its core.
This year, Türkiye Innovation Week will not be confined to a three-day event. A digital engagement network will be established to extend its influence throughout the year. Through LinkedIn surveys, participant-generated content, and surprise rewards, Türkiye Innovation Week will continue to expand its reach across digital platforms.
Türkiye Innovation Week 2025 will bring together innovation leaders, sector pioneers, entrepreneurs, and students from Türkiye and around the world under one roof. Participation in the event is free of charge; however, pre-registration is required at www.turkiyeinnovationweek.com.
