Organized by the Yıldız Technical University Machine Technologies Club, the 9th Defence Industry Days (SSG) is a two-day, multi-session event connecting the defence and security ecosystem across academia, industry, and public institutions. The program brings together leading organizations, private-sector executives, academics, and students to explore research outputs, indigenous projects, and technology trends.

Sessions focus on reducing foreign dependency, developing indigenous systems, R&D and commercialization, meeting procurement needs, and building globally competitive capabilities. Through panels and seminars, participants gain up-to-date insights; with workshops and trainings, they acquire practical know-how and access career and project opportunities enabled by academia–industry collaboration.
