The 2025 dates and theme of the Turkey Artificial Intelligence Summit, the most important meeting point of the artificial intelligence world in Türkiye, have been announced. This important event, eagerly awaited by everyone who keeps their finger on the pulse of artificial intelligence, will be held for the eighth time this year and will take place in Istanbul on October 23-24, 2025, with the theme of “Beyond Intelligence.” The summit will cover a wide range of topics from data communication to next-generation AI-based technologies, from innovative solutions in various sectors to internationally successful examples. In addition, special training sessions will be organized to provide participants with the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills in the field of artificial intelligence.
Organized for the Eighth Time with TRAI's Vision
Continuing its work with the mission of increasing awareness of artificial intelligence in Türkiye and pioneering the development of a dynamic artificial intelligence ecosystem, the Turkish Artificial Intelligence Initiative (TRAI) will host the Turkish Artificial Intelligence Summit for the eighth time this year. This comprehensive event, which will be held under the title of “Beyond Intelligence,” will bring together leading speakers, industry professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors from both Türkiye and around the world, just as in previous years.
“Beyond Intelligence”: The New Dimension of Human and AI Collaboration
The theme of this year’s summit, “Beyond Intelligence,” emphasizes that artificial intelligence has moved beyond being just a technological advancement and has positioned itself as a new and important partner in the collective development of human history. Within this framework, the Turkish Artificial Intelligence Summit will focus not only on the latest technological developments, but also on what humans and artificial intelligence can achieve together. From sophisticated models that successfully pass the Turing Test to creative artificial intelligence applications, from increased productivity in the business world to personalized learning experiences in education, the interaction between artificial intelligence and humans in many areas is now turning into a story of strong cooperation rather than competition, and artificial intelligence is increasingly taking on the role of a team member. In addition to examining the areas of use of this profound transformation in different sectors, the summit aims to provide a rich and comprehensive discussion platform on its social, ethical and economic impacts.
Ecosystem Meeting and Collaboration Opportunities
This year, the Turkish Artificial Intelligence Summit will continue to create a strong interaction and synergy area between different and important components of the artificial intelligence ecosystem by bringing together innovative artificial intelligence startups, investors who want to invest in this field, and leading professionals in the sector. During the summit, special sessions and events will be organized where the latest innovative ideas will be shared and the foundations of potential collaborations will be laid. Pioneers and visionary leaders in the field of artificial intelligence from both Türkiye and the international arena will give special presentations where they will offer participants a valuable perspective that will inspire them and deepen their sectoral knowledge. The sessions, where global artificial intelligence trends, successful applications in different sectors, and various real-life use cases of artificial intelligence will be discussed in detail, will not only provide information to participants, but will also be an important source of motivation for them to acquire new ideas and develop their own projects.
Targeting Broad Participation with Physical Activity and Online Broadcasting
At the physical event of the summit to be held on Thursday, October 23, leading domestic and international companies and innovative artificial intelligence startups will exhibit their latest artificial intelligence-focused products and various services in specially designated booth areas. This interactive area will provide participants with the opportunity to directly contact solution providers, receive detailed information about products and services, and establish potential business partnerships. On Friday, October 24, the online broadcast of the summit will significantly increase the global interaction of the summit by allowing international participants to easily join the event and allow information and experiences on artificial intelligence to reach wider audiences through the digital world.
Record Participation Expected
The Turkish Artificial Intelligence Summit, which has been held successfully every year since 2018, has hosted over 700 respected speakers in the field of artificial intelligence to date and has reached over 100 thousand participants through both physical and online platforms. Expectations for participation in this year’s summit are also quite high. According to plans, the Turkish Artificial Intelligence Summit 2025, which will be organized with the theme of “Beyond Intelligence,” is expected to host over 70 informative sessions, 10 different panel discussions, and 5 special training sessions that will improve the skills of participants. Over 280 institutions from various areas of the artificial intelligence ecosystem are expected to participate in the event. These figures clearly demonstrate how important and central the summit has become for the artificial intelligence community in Türkiye. The summit not only provides a platform for the exchange of information, but also plays a critical role in strengthening collaborations in the sector and paving the way for new projects.
