ISTANBUL

Türkiye's premier technology event TEKNOFEST will be held twice in 2025, once in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) and once in Istanbul, the head of the event organizer T3 said on Sunday.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of TEKNOFEST 2024, held in the southern city of Adana, Selcuk Bayraktar said that with next year’s festivals in the TRNC and Istanbul, "We will achieve new successes with the youth of both our country and friendly regions."

"In spite of those who drown humanity in darkness on the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean, we will raise the light of hope in Northern Cyprus with TEKNOFEST," he said.

With projects rising in the skies above Istanbul, the TEKNOEFST revolution will be taken one step further, he stressed.

The 2024 event, which began on Wednesday, was the 10th edition of TEKNOFEST, which started in Istanbul in 2018.

Last year it was held three times in honor of Türkiye's centennial, in Istanbul, the capital Ankara and the Aegean city Izmir.

In 2022, an international edition of the event was held for the first time, in Azerbaijan's capital Baku.

Anadolu has been the global communication partner of the event since it began.
