The Ministry of Industry and Technology unveiled Terminal Istanbul with a ceremony attended by Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, Investment Office President A. Burak Dağlıoğlu, Türkiye's first astronaut Alper Gezeravcı, and Baykar Chairman Selçuk Bayraktar.
During his welcoming speech, Minister Kacır emphasized, "We are reshaping the Atatürk Airport terminals into the world's largest technology and entrepreneurship center under the Terminal Istanbul brand." The largest technopark in Türkiye, located on a 138,600 square meters of area, will operate at Terminal Istanbul, Minister Kacır added.
The technopark will offer a comprehensive array of amenities, including state-of-the-art offices, incubation centers, accelerator programs, co-working spaces, and R&D laboratories, all geared towards nurturing and accelerating innovative projects.
Positioned as the world's premier destination for technology and entrepreneurship, the technopark is slated to host 2,000 technology entrepreneurs and host multiple events every year. In recent years, the Atatürk Airport area has already been hosting the country's most comprehensive technology festival, Teknofest.
