The 2026 Startup Competition, to be held as part of the Growtech Antalya Fair at the Antalya ANFAŞ Fair Centre from November 24–27, 2026, will contribute to the global recognition and development of innovative ventures poised to shape the future of the agricultural sector.

The competition, taking place within the scope of Growtech Antalya—which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year—will be open to ventures that have moved beyond the mere idea stage, developed a tangible product, service or technology and are less than five years old.
Highlighting the importance of supporting young entrepreneurs, Growtech Fairs Director Engin Er said, “The competition aims to showcase ventures that develop viable, scalable and sustainable solutions across a wide range of areas—from agricultural production to logistics, smart irrigation systems to greenhouse technologies and seed development to digital agriculture platforms.”
Pointing out that the dedicated startup area for ventures in the field of agricultural technologies will connect these startups with industry professionals, investors and potential business partners, he added, “It will offer them the opportunity to introduce themselves, reach investors, establish industry connections and enhance their visibility.”
