The collaboration protocol signing ceremony between baibars mechatronics and the Japanese company Exedy Corporation was held with the participation of Mersin Governor Ali Hamza Pehlivan.
During the ceremony, Governor Pehlivan stated, "Today, we are witnessing the excitement of baibars mechatronics and the Japanese Exedy Corporation as they embark on a joint venture. I wish them success in their future collaborations.
I had previously visited baibars mechatronics aviation. When I went there, I encountered an environment beyond my expectations. They have produced the devices of this era, some of which you see here today, through intense excitement and effort, and they were seeking a broader production and marketing network. Over time, they followed developments and fairs at both national and international levels. Today, they are taking a concrete step to bring their years-long efforts to an international level, and they are doing so by establishing a partnership with a professional company in their field.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of our Republic. As our President has said, we are stepping into the 'Century of Turkey.' Also, according to our President, a 'Teknofest Generation' has emerged. The representatives of baibars are also part of this Teknofest generation, presenting their productions and works. Just as our Turkish engineers, whom we are proud of, have developed technologies ranging from UAVs to flying cars, these young people have also created their works. Together with them, we are confidently moving into a new century with young people who produce projects, develop ideas, create works, and bring them to life in science, technology, and all areas of life. We are doing this by drawing strength from our roots.
We are members of a noble nation with a civilization and state tradition spanning thousands of years. In the 100th year of our Republic, we remember the struggles led by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 100 years ago, and we see through these efforts that we are progressing towards the goal of surpassing the level of contemporary civilizations set forth with the proclamation of the Republic.
I believe that these beginnings will lead to other positive developments. As these young people serve as an example, the number of young people who think big, pioneer, and take steps both nationally and internationally in this field will increase.
The world is in a process of development and transformation. In this process of development and transformation, we, as Turkey, have responsibilities to take our place and position ourselves. We are all engaged in various tasks in different fields. As long as the foundation is education, production, creation, invention, and service to our country and humanity, I know that we will advance on this path with much faster steps.
In our province, 400,000 students in 16,500 classrooms across 1,403 schools are not only receiving education but also producing works in the field of technology. Over the past three years, we have been one of the provinces that produced and sent the most projects to Teknofest, with around 100,000 projects submitted. I firmly believe that among them, young people will emerge who will create tangible works and technological products.
I sincerely congratulate our young brothers Çağlayan and İsmail, the founders of baibars mechatronics aviation, and their young team on this journey. I also thank the representatives of the Exedy company, who are here today for the cooperation protocol, for their collaboration. I believe that combining the strengths of these two companies will result in even more beautiful and advanced technological products. I hope that today's signatures will bring blessings and that such efforts will continue to increase in our province and country."
