Antalya Teknokent

Antalya Teknokent is a technology development zone on the Akdeniz University campus that hosts more than 150 R&D companies and over 70 incubation startups. I interned there from February to June 2024 and kept working with them on a project basis afterwards: I redesigned the institution’s catalog and brochure, designed its trade-fair tent, prepared the announcements for its investment and acceleration programmes, and edited the Mediterranean IT Summit 2024 event film from footage shot on the day.

Goal

The Teknokent talks to three audiences at once: companies that want to join the zone, founders who want to turn an idea into a company, and the institution’s partners. My goal was one visual language, derived from the red and navy corporate colours, that explains the institution to all three with the same clarity, and to carry it from the catalog to the trade-fair floor.

Corporate catalog

I designed a square, print-ready catalog that tells the story of the institution: its figures, sector breakdown, the advantages of joining the zone, the application process, the incubation centre, the Technology Transfer Office and the new R&D buildings. I made diamond shapes and a red-to-navy gradient the signature of the section breaks, and broke dense information into infographics, icons and short lists so it reads easily. The catalog went through several rounds from first draft to print.

Brochure and trade-fair tent

I designed the brochure with a diagonal die-cut, so it folds into a triangular form. It distils the catalog onto one sheet: the incubation centre, the Technology Transfer Office, the Technology Valley, what is offered to founders and investors, awards, the sector breakdown and support services. For fairs and outdoor events I designed the tent around the motto “The Mediterranean’s Technology and IT Hub”; the 3×2 m walls and triangular roof panels bring the Teknokent’s units and Akdeniz University together on one blue surface.

Programme announcements

I prepared announcements for the TÜBİTAK BİGG investment calls, the 8th Plant Breeding Project Market, the Türkiye Tech Visa Programme and the AI and Game Technologies workshop series. Each programme got its own colour world (a glowing purple for BİGG, nature for the green-transition call, a crystal seedling for plant breeding) while a footer carrying the Teknokent and partner logos held them together as the institution’s voice.

Mediterranean IT Summit 2024

For the Mediterranean IT Summit in December 2024 I edited a two-minute event film from footage shot on the day, for Antalya Teknokent’s social media and for its General Manager Dr. İbrahim Yavuz, in both horizontal and vertical formats. I cleaned the raindrop marks off the footage, and used 3D material finishes in the graphics.
