METU Technopark — SAHA Expo 2026 Defence Stand

SAHA Expo has become Türkiye's dedicated fair for tier-2 and tier-3 defence-industry sub-suppliers — the layer beneath primes like Baykar, TAI and Aselsan. It is where prime procurement officers scout for the next component-supplier relationship, and where sub-tier suppliers arrive to be found.
METU Technopark's SAHA presence is portfolio-driven: multiple defence-focused startups from the technology park share the pavilion, each with a small brand-vertical zone. Multi-tenant pavilion architecture at SAHA has to solve for continuity (visitors should understand this is one institutional pavilion) and for identity (each startup needs its own brand read).
We used a shared architectural language — matte-grey walls, cabled overhead trussing, common floor plan — plus tenant-specific signage bands and product surfaces. Each startup got a mini-briefing table for delegation conversations, with the METU Technopark umbrella branding visible from the aisle. That framing is what makes portfolio-scale defence stands legible.

Our work at this fair
What we learned building here
Defence halls carry loads most fairs never see — vehicle-weight exhibits, tall mock-ups and equipment that must be positioned before the hall closes for security sweeps. Heavy work moves to the front of the schedule and finishing happens around exhibits that can no longer be moved.
