Welcome to NEXUS – Ankara’s global crossroads for UAVs, unmanned systems, robotics & AI

Where autonomy meets agriculture, energy, logistics, smart cities… and ready-to-sign buyers

Set your stand in Ankara and you are inside the decision circle: ministries, regulators, R&D hubs and the headquarters of every major Turkish UAV, robotics and AI programme. NEXUS gathers the entire ecosystem in one compact venue—no detours, no delays.

A market already airborne

Civilian UAV fleets sprayed, mapped and patrolled over 250 000 flight hours last year. Ag-tech demand is set to absorb USD 1.8 billion in spraying and data-fusion drones. Energy giants have locked in USD 420 million for pipeline and offshore-rig services. AI robotics is climbing from USD 141 million in 2025 to USD 310 million by 2031, propelled by automotive, white-goods and e-commerce plants that line Ankara’s industrial corridor.

Export lanes wide open

Dual-use platforms born as crop-sprayers now carry SAR pods and sell in 33 countries across the Balkans, Caucasus, Gulf, North & East Africa, and Central Asia. Türkiye’s combined UAV and robotics exports topped USD 2.6 billion in 2024; the target is USD 5 billion by 2028. Free-trade links with 28 states remove tariffs on small UAVs and service robots—giving NEXUS exhibitors instant access to emerging markets hungry for cost-effective autonomy.

Government backing that turns prototypes into purchase orders

Strong, streamlined support—tax incentives, R&D rebates, export financing and offset programmes—means technologies launched at NEXUS move straight from demo to deployment.
