Keeping up with technological innovations, adding value to its province and region through R&D work, and drawing attention with its scientific studies and regional development-focused projects, Kırşehir Ahi Evran University continues to add new achievements to its list of successes. With the Presidential Decree published in the Official Gazette, the establishment of a Technology Development Zone (Technopark) within Kırşehir Ahi Evran University has been made official. With the declaration of our university as a Technopark, Kırşehir Ahi Evran University has gained the status of a “Technology Development Zone” and has taken an important step towards regional development and innovation. With the Technopark decision, our university will once again serve as an important center for bringing together scientific potential, industry, and technology in the preparation of important projects and investments.

The newly established Technology Development Zone will serve as an important strategic center for entrepreneurs, academics, and technology companies in our city and surrounding areas. Thanks to the Technology Park, the theoretical knowledge generated at our university will be transformed into high-value-added technological products, contributing to the continued growth of collaborations in software, biotechnology, and industry, particularly in agriculture and geothermal-focused projects.
