AKİTEK – Smart Technologies, Prototyping, IoT and Digitalisation Expertise

AKİTEK (Smart Technologies Research and Application Center) at KTO Karatay University provides multidisciplinary R&D, prototyping and technology development capabilities for collaborative European projects.

Our expertise combines mechanical, electronic and digital technologies, enabling us to contribute from early-stage concept development to functional prototype validation and demonstration.

Key capabilities include:

• IoT and smart sensor systems

• Embedded systems and electronics development

• Data acquisition, monitoring and remote sensing

• Cloud-based data collection and system integration

• AI-supported monitoring and decision-support applications

• Smart agriculture and agricultural technologies

• Rapid prototyping and product development

• Additive manufacturing, including polymer SLS and metal additive manufacturing

• 3D scanning and reverse engineering

• PCB development and electronic prototyping

• EMC-related testing and development support

• Mechanical system design, mechatronic integration and automation

• Development and validation of proof-of-concept and functional prototypes

AKİTEK is particularly interested in joining Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and other international R&D projects where physical systems, sensors, edge devices, cloud infrastructure and digital services need to be integrated into a complete demonstrator.

We can contribute to projects through technology development, prototyping, pilot implementation, validation, testing, demonstration activities and exploitation-oriented product development.

For ICTürkiye2026, we are interested in meeting universities, research organisations, SMEs, technology providers, municipalities, Digital Innovation Hubs and industrial partners seeking complementary expertise in smart systems, IoT, digitalisation, manufacturing and applied R&D.
