土耳其技术团队基金会（T3基金会）董事会主席、TEKNOFEST董事会主席塞尔丘克·拜拉克塔尔周三在TEKNOFEST东南站开幕式致辞中，将该节日描述为挑战“我们做不到”思维定势的“自信革命”。
Selcuk Bayraktar, chairman of the board of trustees of the Türkiye Technology Team Foundation (T3 Foundation) and chairman of the TEKNOFEST board, described the festival as “a confidence revolution” challenging the mindset that says “we cannot do it” in his opening speech at TEKNOFEST Southeast on Wednesday.
“TEKNOFEST是一场自信革命。这是对‘我们做不到’这种心态的反叛。这是对模仿和习得性无助的抗议，”拜拉克塔尔在开幕致辞中表示。
“TEKNOFEST is a confidence revolution. It is a rebellion against the mentality that says, ‘We cannot do it.’ It is an objection to imitation and learned helplessness,” Bayraktar said in his opening address.
土耳其首屈一指的航空、航天和技术节TEKNOFEST周三在东南部城市尚勒乌尔法向游客开放。
Türkiye’s premier aviation, space and technology festival TEKNOFEST opened its doors to visitors Wednesday in the southeastern province of Sanliurfa.
作为在土耳其东南部举办的活动一站，TEKNOFEST东南站从周三起至10月4日，汇聚科技爱好者、青年创客和数千名参观者，共同参与各类表演、展览以及14个类别的技术竞赛决赛。
TEKNOFEST Southeast, a leg of the event held in southeastern Türkiye, brings together tech enthusiasts, young investors and thousands of visitors for various shows, exhibitions and the finals of technology competitions across 14 categories from Wednesday through Oct. 4.
拜拉克塔尔将尚勒乌尔法称为“历史的零点”，表示这里是人类向定居生活过渡、发展农业并奠定文明基础的土地之一。“超过160万青年报名参赛”自2018年创办以来已举办第15届，拜拉克塔尔表示，“2018年播下的TEKNOFEST种子，如今已成长为一场重大的技术运动。”他指出，来自土耳其所有81个省份和97个国家的青年参与了节日活动，共有超过73万支队伍、逾160万名青年报名参加了62个类别的技术竞赛。
Describing Sanliurfa as “the zero point of history,” Bayraktar said it was among the lands where humanity transitioned to settled life, developed agriculture and laid the foundations of civilization. ‘More than 1.6 million young people applied’Holding its 15th festival since its launch in 2018, Bayraktar said the TEKNOFEST “seedling we planted in 2018 has today turned into a major technology movement.”He said young people from all 81 provinces of Türkiye and 97 countries were participating in the festival, adding that more than 730,000 teams and over 1.6 million young people had applied to technology competitions in 62 categories.
“这些不仅仅是数字。它们是土耳其正在改变的故事，”拜拉克塔尔说。
“These are not just numbers. They are Türkiye’s changing story,” Bayraktar said.
他强调了土耳其东南部青年的参与情况，表示该地区儿童正在DENEYAP技术工作坊学习人工智能和机器人技术。
He highlighted the participation of young people from southeastern Türkiye, saying children in the region were learning artificial intelligence and robotics at DENEYAP Technology Workshops.
谈到该地区炎热的气候时，Bayraktar说道：“当我们来到乌尔法时，我们明白了另一个道理：如果一个系统能在乌尔法炎热的天气中顺利运行，那么它就能在世界的任何地方运行，甚至能在太空中运行。”
Referring to the region’s hot climate, Bayraktar said: “When we came to Urfa, we understood something else. If a system works smoothly at noon in the Urfa heat, it will work anywhere in the world, and even in space.”
“‘国家技术计划’并不仅仅局限于航空航天领域，”Bayraktar强调，“它还体现在农田、工厂、实验室、医院、车间以及大学中。这个计划的目的是将创意转化为经济价值，将梦想变为现实，将项目转化为就业机会，并通过技术推动土耳其的繁荣。”
‘National Technology Initiative is not only in the sky’ Bayraktar said confidence strengthens production, production strengthens technology, and technology creates the foundation for independence. “That is why the National Technology Initiative exists,” he said. “The National Technology Initiative is not only in the sky. It is in the fields, factories, laboratories, hospitals, workshops and universities.”
“我们的目标是发展高科技、实现国内生产以及高附加值的出口产品，”Bayraktar说。
He said the initiative aims to turn ideas into economic value, dreams into production, projects into employment and technology into prosperity for Türkiye.
“我们希望建立一个创业生态系统，以增强我国的全面独立性，这个生态系统将由TEKNOFEST这一代年轻人来引领。”他还强调了农业生产的战略重要性，指出食品问题已经变得比以往任何时候都更加紧迫。
“Our goal is high technology, domestic production and value-added exports,” Bayraktar said. “We want to build an entrepreneurship ecosystem that will strengthen our country’s full independence, led by the TEKNOFEST generation.”Bayraktar also highlighted the strategic importance of agricultural production, saying food had become a more critical issue than ever.
“我们不能再简单地将农业视为一个传统行业；农业必须成为未来高科技发展的重点领域之一，”他说，并指出了下一代农业技术、人工智能支持的解决方案、基因科学以及高效、可持续的生产方式作为需要重点关注的领域。
“We can no longer view agriculture simply as a traditional sector. Agriculture must become one of the high-technology fields of the future,” he said. He pointed to next-generation national agricultural technologies, AI-supported solutions, genetic science, efficiency and sustainable production as areas of focus.
“当年轻人开发的创新技术应用于这些肥沃的土地时，我们的未来将会更加繁荣昌盛，”他说道。
“As the solutions developed by young people meet these fertile lands, our future will become stronger and more prosperous,” he said.
Bayraktar还谈到了人工智能带来的快速变革，他表示人工智能可以加速学习和研究进程，但应将其视为一种能够拓展人类潜能的工具，而不是取代人类判断力的工具。
Bayraktar also addressed the rapid transformation driven by artificial intelligence, saying the technology could accelerate learning and research but should be viewed as a tool that expands human potential rather than a guide that replaces human judgment.
“技术只是一种工具；最终决定其发展方向的人仍然是人类，”他说。
“Technology is a tool. It is the human who determines its direction and must make the final decision,” he said.
“我们的目标不仅仅是开发技术，更重要的是要确定这种技术应该秉持什么样的精神与发展方向，”巴伊拉克塔尔说道。
“Our aim is not merely to develop technology, but to determine what kind of spirit and direction we will give it,” Bayraktar said.
“我们希望利用技术为人类带来福祉。我们希望将科学与良知、智慧与道德、力量与正义结合起来。”
“We want to use technology for the benefit of humanity. We want to bring science together with conscience, intelligence with morality, and power with justice.”
