SAHA EXPO 2022, organized by SAHA Istanbul, showcased the growing strength of Türkiye’s national defense, aerospace, and space technologies sectors. Held under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye and supported by key ministries — including Defence, Interior, Foreign Affairs, Industry & Technology, and Trade, along with the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) — the exhibition united nearly 1,000 companies from over 50 countries at the Istanbul Expo Center.

The event hosted over 30,000 professional visitors and facilitated 10,000+ B2B, B2G, and G2G meetings, becoming a major business hub for the defense ecosystem. Exhibitors presented cutting-edge technologies across aerospace, naval systems, autonomous vehicles, space platforms, AI-based software, and simulation technologies. Through the SAHA Entrepreneurship Program, startups and innovators introduced pioneering projects to industrial leaders and investors, further strengthening Türkiye’s technological ecosystem.

Beyond its physical exhibition, SAHA EXPO 2022 also broke new ground with its 3D Virtual Exhibition, enabling participants to display their products in an interactive, real-time digital environment accessible 24/7 worldwide. With live chat, video meetings, and analytics dashboards, the virtual platform enhanced global visibility and engagement. Under the theme “The Strongest of the New World Order Meet Here”, SAHA EXPO reaffirmed Türkiye’s ambition to be a global power in defense and aerospace innovation.
