One of the most significant gathering points of Türkiye’s beekeeping sector, the 16th Türkiye Beekeeping Fair, was successfully held with strong participation on January 16–18, 2026, at the Istanbul Haliç Congress Center, under the main sponsorship of SİMECS Group. 

The fair provided a strong platform for interaction and cooperation, particularly in the fields of bee health, honey and bee product technologies, next-generation hive systems, and professional beekeeping equipment. It also hosted international visitors from countries including Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Serbia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Lebanon.

Technology Enhancing Efficiency and Quality in Beekeeping

The honey heating jacket, jointly developed by Hungary-based CAADEX and its distributor in eight countries including Türkiye, SİMECS Group, was presented to industry professionals at the SİMECS stand. This innovative solution, designed to prevent efficiency and quality losses caused by the crystallization and freezing of honey, drew attention for its contribution to sustainable production, energy efficiency, and preservation of product quality.

R&D Vision in the Turkish–Hungarian Partnership 

Throughout the fair, HEPA Türkiye actively took part at the SİMECS stand, contributing to the product’s promotion and communication activities. HEPA Türkiye’s sectoral expertise and its approach focused on strengthening international collaborations made the R&D- and innovation-driven vision of the Turkish–Hungarian partnership more visible.

This participation created an important opportunity to connect innovative solutions in agriculture and food technologies with the right stakeholders and to further develop international trade relations.
