Technological progress is a very important issue. We need to develop technology in order to live in peace, independence, and prosperity. One of the tasks of TEKNOFEST is to demonstrate this reality to youth. Our goal is to hold TEKNOFEST in Azerbaijan and other Turkic countries,” Bayraktar said.
The upcoming festival will be held in Azerbaijan on May 26-29, 2022. TEKNOFEST in Baku is held by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
