Automechanika Istanbul: Beyond a trade fair, a platform for professional and personal development

Also in Hall 12, the Automechanika Academy will run for the first three days of the fair, offering insightful sessions on technology, education, e-commerce, and gender equality, delivered by expert speakers.
