Türkiye's Premier Marketplace for AI, Robotics & Autonomous Civil Systems

1–3 December 2026 | Ankara, Türkiye

The Market Opportunity

NEXUS is staged at the epicenter of one of the world's most dynamic technology markets. Türkiye is not merely adopting the future—it is actively building it, backed by robust government strategy, significant public investment, and a rapidly maturing industrial base.

Artificial Intelligence

Türkiye's AI market is on a steep growth trajectory. The generative AI segment alone reached USD 150.6 million in 2025 and is projected to climb to USD 600.1 million by 2034, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.11%. The broader national AI market is forecast to hit USD 2.55 billion by 2032, growing at a 23.2% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. With 81% of Turkish consumers already using AI regularly—placing Türkiye among the top global adopters—demand spans finance, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and smart city infrastructure.

The government's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy and the Turkish Large Language Model (TLLM) Sectoral Adaptation Project are injecting up to TL 50 million per project to foster AI localization, ensuring the market is not only large but also deeply supported by public funding.

Robotics & Automation

The global robotics and automation market is valued at USD 75.49 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 380.87 billion by 2034, recording a CAGR of 19.70%. The industrial robotics segment alone is projected to grow from USD 65.1 billion in 2026 to USD 343.8 billion by 2036, driven by AI-enabled vision systems and the shift toward adaptive factory intelligence.

In Türkiye, robotics adoption is accelerating across manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. The country's strategic position as a manufacturing and logistics hub makes it a natural growth market for robotic solutions in automotive, white-goods, e-commerce, food & beverage, and electronics assembly.

Autonomous Unmanned Civil Systems

Türkiye's civilian UAV fleets have already logged over 250,000 flight hours annually for agricultural spraying, precision mapping, and infrastructure inspection. Ag-tech demand alone is set to absorb USD 1.8 billion in spraying and data-fusion drones, while energy giants have committed USD 420 million for pipeline and offshore-rig inspection services.

Globally, the commercial UAV market is valued at USD 9.6 billion in 2026 and projected to reach USD 64.95 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 23.68%. The broader UAV market is valued at approximately USD 32 billion in 2026 and expected to reach USD 65 billion by 2032. Türkiye's combined UAV and robotics exports exceeded USD 2.6 billion in 2024, with a national target of USD 5 billion by 2028.

Why Exhibit at NEXUS?

1. Direct Access to the Decision Circle: NEXUS is held in Ankara, the policy and procurement nerve center of Türkiye's technology ecosystem. The city's industrial corridor hosts the headquarters of every major UAV, robotics, and AI program in the country. By exhibiting here, you position your brand inside the room where regulations are shaped, budgets are allocated, and partnerships are forged.
2. Government Backing That Moves Projects Forward: Türkiye's National Technology Initiative and Digital Türkiye 2025 Strategy provide a robust framework of tax incentives, R&D rebates, export financing, and offset programs. Technologies launched at NEXUS move straight from demonstration to deployment, supported by a government committed to turning prototypes into purchase orders.
3. Export Gateway to 28 Countries: Free-trade agreements with 28 countries remove tariffs on small UAVs and service robots, giving exhibitors instant access to emerging markets across the Balkans, Caucasus, Gulf, North & East Africa, and Central Asia. Civilian platforms developed for Turkish agriculture and energy sectors are already exporting to 33 countries, proving the scalability of solutions unveiled at NEXUS.
4. Timing That Captures Budget Cycles: December 1–3, 2026 is the strategic window to capture budgets, forge partnerships, and secure contracts before the new fiscal year. The timing aligns with Türkiye's aggressive digital transformation roadmap and its push to localize AI models, scale civilian drone fleets, and modernize manufacturing through robotics.

NEXUS: Where Policy Meets Innovation

NEXUS is not a trade show. It is a working marketplace where Ankara's policy frameworks meet global technological innovation. Whether you are launching an AI platform, a service robot, or a civil unmanned system, NEXUS is the place where your technology meets its first Turkish buyer—and its first export contract.

Bring your technology. Meet the buyers. Scale across five continents.
