What a fantastic beginning to SDN Tech Expo 2025. From the moment we arrived at the Yenikapı Eurasia Show and Art Centre in Istanbul, the excitement was everywhere. Thousands of people filled the venue with a shared passion for innovation, discovery, and technology.

We are here as Archi’s Academy, not just to showcase our platform LOKUM, but to connect with those who believe, like we do, that tech education needs a shift. We came to this event to meet people, to listen, and to share what we are building with others who care about the future of learning.

LOKUM is our AI-powered, project-based learning platform for aspiring software developers. It is built for those who want more than theory. With LOKUM, learners dive straight into hands-on development, building full-stack projects, receiving instant code feedback, and progressing based on real skills. They do not just learn they build, solve problems, and prepare for real jobs from day one.

We came here to meet educators looking to modernize their teaching. We came to speak with companies that need skilled, job-ready developers. We came to inspire young learners who want a smarter, faster way into the tech world. And we came to be inspired ourselves.

So far, we have had meaningful conversations with teachers, technopark leaders, startup founders, students, and professionals from all over Türkiye and beyond. Many were excited to see how LOKUM brings structure, feedback, and personalization together in one ecosystem. Hearing people say "This is exactly what we needed" made all the work behind LOKUM feel even more worthwhile.

The event itself is packed with inspiration. Türkiye’s first national flying car, Air Car, is here and it truly captures the spirit of ambition and innovation. We also loved exploring the exhibition of over four thousand antique mobile phones and Apple computers from 1976 to 2008. Walking through that space reminded us how far technology has come and how much further we can go.

The startup zone, where we are exhibiting, is full of energy. Everyone here has something to say, something to build, and something to share. It is refreshing to be surrounded by people who are not just watching the future unfold but are actively creating it.

If you are attending SDN Tech Expo, come find us in Hall A. We would love to meet you, walk you through LOKUM, and hear your thoughts on the future of tech education. Whether you are an educator, a hiring manager, a fellow founder, or just someone curious about learning, we are here to connect.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by today. We are here for the full three days, and we cannot wait to see what the next two bring.

Let’s build the future of learning together.
