Building the Future Through Engineering!
At STM, we are proud to showcase our advanced engineering capabilities, innovative solutions, and pioneering role in the defense industry on the TEKNOFEST stage every year. We firmly believe in the power of engaging with the engineers of the future today and sharing tomorrow’s technologies with young minds.
TEKNOFEST is not just a festival; it is an inspiring platform where young people turn their dreams into reality and where Türkiye has the opportunity to experience our defense technologies up close. We are thrilled to be part of this grand vision and to connect young people with technology.
Throughout the festival, we fuel the passion for technology together with our projects, competitions, and interactive experience zones, further strengthening the national technology initiative in collaboration with youth.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to inspire the architects of tomorrow who will build Türkiye’s future with engineering and to continue working towards a stronger future.
The World’s Fastest Drone Pilots Meet at TEKNOFEST
STM proudly organizes the World Drone Cup (WDC), the world’s premier drone racing competition, bringing together the fastest drone pilots from across the globe every year at TEKNOFEST.
As the festival’s largest international competition, WDC challenges pilots on demanding tracks with drones they have designed and built themselves. In the WDC, 32 competitors from 32 countries, ranging from Japan to Brazil and from Ukraine to the United States, battle fiercely for the championship.
Türkiye’s Champion Pilots
Pilots who will represent Türkiye at the World Drone Championship are determined through the TEKNOFEST Drone Championship (TDŞ), which is also organized under STM’s leadership. TDŞ, held annually in three different cities, identifies the country’s top drone pilots through multiple competitive stages. In the TDŞ finals, 16 competitors race intensely to secure the top three spots and earn the right to represent Türkiye at the WDC.
