Yalova University played a pivotal role in fostering national technological advancements at TEKNOFEST 2023, held at Ankara Etimesgut Airport from August 30 to September 3. Our university actively participated in this event, organized by the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and welcomed visitors at its exhibition booth.
During his visit to the Yalova University booth at TEKNOFEST 2023, our University Rector, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Bahçekapılı, expressed his gratitude to Direnç Özdemir, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yalova OIZ, and Yasin Gök, General Manager of Yalova Technopark, for their support. Rector Bahçekapılı emphasized the significance of sharing the same platform with Yalova OIZ and Technopark and highlighted the collaborative efforts to promote national technology development.
The projects presented by Yalova University teams at TEKNOFEST garnered substantial attention. In the "Initiative Competition" category, the Transportation Engineers team reached the finals among the top 16 teams with their integrated public transportation platform project. This innovative project aims to provide convenient access to public transportation information across various cities in Turkey by integrating different public transportation systems into a single software solution.
The Transportation Engineers team, formed by our research assistants İsmail Adalıoğlu, Gürcan Sarısoy, and Ayşe Polat, achieved a spot among the 16 finalists in the Transportation and Mobility field with this project. Further information about the project can be found at www.akilliulasim.com.
