TEKNOFEST Southeast will take place at Şanlıurfa GAP Airport from September 30 to October 4. OYAK companies participating in the festival will showcase their work and strategic products in various fields. Erdemir will participate with steels intended for the National Aircraft Carrier (MUGEM) Project, while Miilux OY will showcase its submarine and ballistic steels.

OYAK will exhibit its HORSE hybrid engine technology, and HEKTAŞ will display its agricultural technologies. OMSAN Logistics will focus on the region's developing trade corridors and new logistics opportunities.

Domestic steel from Erdemir for the national ship

Erdemir will showcase the high-performance marine steel to be used in MUGEM Türkiye’s first indigenous and national aircraft carrier at TEKNOFEST Southeast. Erdemir will produce approximately 40,000 tons of marine plate steel for use in MUGEM’s hull and deck.

Produced at Türkiye’s first and only plate rolling mill, the EH460-grade marine steel stands out for its high strength, superior toughness, weldability, and formability. A scale model of Erdemir’s No. 2 Blast Furnace, "Zübeyde," will also be on display at the festival, and visitors will be provided with information about the production process.

At the OYAK stand (F1), Erdemir will showcase the journey of transforming pellets into steel through a 3D video experience viewable via VR headsets.

Erdemir will launch the "Multifunctional Advanced Materials and Systems Competition" a contest it is co-organizing as part of TEKNOFEST with a special opening event on the festival's first day.

A launch and experience zone, designed specifically for this competition a first in TEKNOFEST history will immerse visitors in the journey of materials from the past to the future.

In this initiative, which plans to accept its first applications in 2027 from university-level participants and above, young people will develop projects shaping the future of materials by creating advanced materials based on composites, ceramics, and most notably steel.

OMSAN to focus on new logistics corridors

At TEKNOFEST, OMSAN Logistics will focus on new trade corridors extending from Southeastern Anatolia to the Middle East and the logistics opportunities arising along these routes.

As expanding trade with Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Gulf countries creates new avenues in cross-border transport, warehousing, and project logistics, OMSAN will inform visitors about the emerging opportunities in these corridors, leveraging its capabilities in road, rail, and maritime transport as well as integrated logistics.

HEKTAŞ to showcase agricultural technologies to visitors

HEKTAŞ will participate in the festival with vertical farming applications and agricultural analysis sensors. In addition to these technologies, which were also exhibited at last year's festival, content regarding seed technologies will be presented to visitors this year.

The company will share its work and various applications regarding the use of technology in agricultural production, particularly with young people and technology enthusiasts.

OYAK HORSE to showcase hybrid engine technology

As Türkiye’s sole manufacturer of engines and gearboxes for passenger vehicles, OYAK HORSE will exhibit the HORSE H18 engine produced at its Bursa plant alongside the key components of its hybrid powertrain system.

While the 1.8-liter HORSE H18 engine generates approximately 110 horsepower and 172 Nm of torque, it delivers a total system output of around 155 horsepower when paired with the hybrid system. Throughout the festival, OYAK HORSE R&D engineers will explain the operating principles of the engine and the hybrid system to visitors.

Miilux OY to showcase strategic steels

Miilux OY, an OYAK company and Türkiye’s only armor steel manufacturer, will present its high-strength steels used in submarine and ballistic applications at TEKNOFEST. HY 80 and HY 100 grade submarine steels, as well as ballistic plates, will be on display for visitors.

A submarine scale model will also be featured at the stand of Miilux OY, a company that produces steel for the National Submarine (MİLDEN) and National Nuclear Submarine (NÜKDEN) projects.
