The rise of the knowledge economy and digitalisation processes has precipitated a radical transformation in the functioning of the global economy. New generation technologies, including artificial intelligence, big data and automation, are exerting a wide range of impacts, from economic growth models to labour markets. This transformation possesses a direct effect not only on trade and industry, but also on the academic world and scientific research.
The Palandöken Economic Forum provides a significant platform for deliberating the economic value of knowledge and the integration of innovative solutions into developmental processes through enhanced interaction between academic institutions and the business sector. The forum will serve as a platform for deliberation on the knowledge production processes of universities, novel education models for the next generation and technology-oriented development policies and contribute to the establishment of a future political-economic vision.
In this context, Erzurum Technical University is delighted to announce its contribution to the Palandöken Economic Forum, scheduled to take place on 26-27 April 2025. This significant event will serve as a nexus for dialogue between the academic and business communities, with a focus on economic and technological transformations from a scientific standpoint. The forum will also contribute to the development of innovative approaches to sustainable development. We extend an invitation to this esteemed gathering in Palandöken, with the objective of fostering enhanced interaction between the domains of science, industry, and the economy.
