SMARTEX 2027

SMARTEX is a trade fair in Istanbul covering the technologies behind smart cities, smart buildings, transport and mobility, smart devices and start-ups. It grew out of ISAF International, first held in Ankara in 2000 and run as ISAF Smart Life from 2011, and was relaunched with a broader scope in 2025. The 2027 edition is organised by Marmara Tanıtım Fuarcılık alongside the 31st ISAF International security fair.
