The next industrial era is being built now.

Every AI model runs on chips someone had to fabricate, energy someone had to generate, and machines someone had to build. Yet the Muslim world remains largely absent from the foundational technologies that will define the next century.

Türkiye has spent decades building industrial capabilities across aerospace, automotive, electronics and advanced manufacturing, developing homegrown technologies with the potential to reshape who builds, owns and controls what comes next.

Istanbul is where these capabilities meet your skills, ambition and expertise, alongside hundreds of other like-minded Muslims. A city shaped by centuries of innovation, ideas and trade, it offers a compelling setting to bring together the people who will help shape the next chapter of Muslim technological progress.

Good to know

When and where is MTF Istanbul?

28–30 November 2026 at Terminal Istanbul, Istanbul: the Al-Sharq Forum on 28 November, the MTF Summit & Dinner on 29 November, and the MTF Tour on 30 November.

Can I attend just the Summit?

Yes. The MTF Pass covers the MTF Summit and the MTF Dinner on Day 2. Add the MTF Tour on Day 3 at checkout.

Is accommodation included?

Add a hotel room to your pass at checkout, or book your own: we’ll share recommended hotels near the venue.

Do I need a visa for Türkiye?

It depends on your passport. Many nationalities can enter visa-free or apply for an e-Visa online. Please check the official Republic of Türkiye e-Visa website well before you travel. Flights and visas are not included in any pass.

How do I get there?

Istanbul is served by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), with direct flights from most major cities. Airport transfers are not included unless stated in your pass.

Will there be prayer space and halal food?

Yes. Prayer times are built into the programme, and all food served at MTF sessions and the MTF Dinner is halal.

What language is the event in?

English. Some sessions at the Al-Sharq Forum may be in Turkish or Arabic.

I have another question.

Email us at adam@muslimtechfest.com.

Can I transfer my ticket?

Yes, from your order page, up to a week before the event. The new holder gets their own QR code.

Can I get a refund?

Tickets are non-refundable, unless the event is rescheduled or cancelled.

Is there a returning attendee price?

Yes. Past attendees get a returning attendee code by email: enter it at checkout.
