World Media Group, for the first time in 2016, held the Industry 4.0 Summit with the theme “Enlightenment for Science, Science for Enlightenment” at VIALAND PALACE HOTEL. The second summit was organized in 2017 under the subheading “Digital Factories and Augmented Reality” at the Inter Continental Hotel in Istanbul.

The III. World Media Group / Industry 4.0 Summit, with the main theme “Artificial Intelligence – Internet of Things (IoT) – Producing Robots and Society,” was organized on Wednesday, December 5, 2018, from 09:00 to 19:00, featuring ten conferences, three roundtable discussions, and multiple open sessions. Additionally, 50 companies, six associations, and five universities had information stands at the event organized by World Media Group.

In the summit held this year, World Media Group’s General Manager and Industry 4.0 Turkey Coordinator, İlker Kaplan, mentioned that they would host hundreds of decision-makers from companies and continued his statement: “This event, where presentations from dozens of major companies come together, is the first time that Industry 4.0’s locomotive is presented in Turkey. The discussion of diverse ideas in this area is promising for the future. Additionally, the participation of hundreds of companies in our event is a positive signal for our summit.”

World Media Group General Manager Kaplan continued his statement as follows: “Our event will be held on Friday, December 27, 2024, under the main title of WORLD MEDIA GROUP / INDUSTRY 4.0 SUMMIT. The subtopics of our summit are as follows: *Internet of Things (IoT) / Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Extended Reality (XR), and Mixed Reality (MR) / Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)… *Global Wireless Network Infrastructure, Fifth Generation (5G) Technology, and Industry… *Sustainability: The World’s Energy Problem; Fossil Fuels, Electricity, Carbon, and Hydrogen… In 2012, the German government initiated studies on a new production system by bringing together businesses, universities, and non-governmental organizations. As a result of these studies, the necessary conditions for the transition to the 4th phase of Industry were determined to be in place and needed to be implemented. These findings were shared with the public. The Industry 4.0 approach emerged from this process. During this period, WORLD MEDIA GROUP prepared a publication on Industry 4.0, which has now reached its 10th year. Additionally, we organized the first Industry 4.0 event at Vialand Palace Hotel in 2016, followed by the second and third events in previous years. This year, we will organize the 4th WORLD MEDIA GROUP / Industry 4.0 Summit again at Vialand Palace Hotel on December 27, 2024.”

World Media Group General Manager, Industry 4.0 Turkey Coordinator, and Chairperson of the International Economy, Industry, and Technology Publishers, İlker Kaplan, concluded his words as follows: “The Industry 4.0 Summit organized by World Media Group at Vialand Palace Hotel will be held in three simultaneous halls due to the high attendance. The summit will be directed to three simultaneous sessions. First, in the Büyükada Hall, presentations on Sustainability, Electricity, Carbon, and Hydrogen will take place, while in the Heybeliada Hall, another room will be dedicated to B2B meetings on Industry, Automotive, and Technology & IT. The work for the Industry 4.0 Summit to be held on December 27, 2024, at Vialand Palace Hotel is growing exponentially. We invite professionals interested in this topic to join our event.”
