International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Studies Future Trends in Artificial Inteligence “Academia Meets Industry”

We are proud to have completed the second annual International Artificial Intelligence Studies Conference and Fair, ICAIS'25. ICAIS'25 was not only a scientific event this year, but also a platform where knowledge was shared, collaborations were fostered, and young people took a step into the future. Held simultaneously with three major fairs—MOBİSAD-IMEX, ISAF, and International Data Center Eurasia—at the Istanbul Expo Center, the event was attended by over 500 companies and more than 30,000 visitors.

The International Artificial Intelligence Studies Conference brought together academics, industry leaders, students, and all stakeholders interested in artificial intelligence. This interest once again demonstrated the relevance of the knowledge generated by the academic world in the field. One of the most important outcomes of our congress was the direct collaboration between our academics and the companies participating in the fair. Many companies met with academic experts and proposed joint projects. This development once again demonstrated the potential of ICAIS'25 to be not only a scientific event but also a platform where sustainable industry-academia collaborations emerge.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all our stakeholders, especially ISTANBUL GEDIK UNIVERSITY and MARMARA FAIR ORGANIZATION, who recognized this vision and trusted and supported us. Your contributions further strengthened the bridge we built between academia and industry and enabled the congress to become an internationally resounding success. ICAIS'25 was the beginning. We have already begun preparations for a stronger, more inclusive, and more impactful gathering at ICAIS'2026. We invite universities, companies, academics, and researchers to be a part of this vision next year and to share this energy and spirit of collaboration with us.
