Anadolu took its place at Türkiye's premier aviation, space, and technology event, TEKNOFEST, showcasing numerous products at its booth.

Organized under the leadership of the Industry and Technology Ministry and the T3 Foundation, TEKNOFEST, the world's largest technology festival, is welcoming visitors at the Istanbul Atatürk Airport from Sept. 17-21.

Anadolu is the global communication partner of the five-day event.

Anadolu introduced its services and products at its booth, including news drone “Tepe,” and is offering visitors the opportunity to take part in different activities and competitions.

Basketball game played with virtual reality glasses stood out as one of the fun activities at the stand.

Visitors also got a chance to participate in activities set up by the Anadolu Sports Club, and experience war reporting.

As part of a competition with Anadolu's AI reporter, visitors were asked general knowledge questions, and gifts were presented to those who succeeded.

People also took interest in Anadolu's publications such as photobook The Evidence, which has documented war crimes in Israel's war against Palestinians in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.

Selcuk Bayraktar, director of TEKNOFEST, visited the agency's booth on Thursday and offered thanks to the staff for their efforts.

“TEKNOFEST excites us, doesn't it? It truly renews our hopes for our country and our civilization.

"Thank you for being here, thank you for being our companions on this journey. Thank you for all your efforts and hard work. Thanks to you, TEKNOFEST connects with all our hearts,” he said.

Bayraktar later met Anadolu CEO Serdar Karagoz, and they took a group photo.
