Legacy Carried into the Future
IDA Türkiye Industrial Cooperation Days in Defense and Aerospace, previously known as ICDDA – Industrial Cooperation Days in Defence and Aerospace, organized by OSSA since 2013, will now take place under a new identity: IDA Türkiye Industrial Cooperation Days in Defense and Aerospace, between October 14–16, 2026, at Congresium Ankara.
This transformation not only expands the scope of the exhibition but also aims to elevate Türkiye’s global potential in defence and aerospace to a more strategic and visible platform.
The international business network, knowledge-sharing culture, and technology transfer environment established by ICDDA will continue to grow stronger under the new format of IDA Türkiye Industrial Cooperation Days in Defense and Aerospace. A legacy of the past meets a vision for the future.
ICDDA: A Platform for Strategic Industrial Collaboration
Industrial Cooperation Days in Defence and Aerospace (ICDDA) has been an internationally recognized platform organized biennially since 2013 by OSSA – OSTİM Defence and Aerospace Cluster, becoming one of the most prominent events in the sector.
Held every two years, ICDDA has provided a unique business development environment that strengthens public-private sector cooperation in the defence, aerospace, and space industries, enabling participants to engage in targeted one-on-one meetings over just three days.
Strategic Support and Strong Collaborations
ICDDA has been realized in cooperation with key institutions such as the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Defence Industry Agency, the Ministry of Trade, OSSA, and VIMEET, a global leader in B2B matchmaking platforms. International contributions from institutions like SUPREME Technocraft Aviation Services Pakistan and TEM Tour further enhanced the event’s global reach.
By bringing together decision-makers, investors, military authorities, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), local manufacturers, and SMEs, ICDDA laid a strong foundation for an efficient and collaborative supply chain ecosystem.
Enriched Program with Panels, Seminars, and Industrial Site Visits
The program featured panel discussions on civil aviation, defence systems, homeland security, logistics, and supply chains, offering a dynamic forum for knowledge sharing among government representatives, military attachés, and defence and trade professionals.
Leading global organizations such as Airbus, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, NATO, and CERN participated in seminars to provide insights into their procurement processes.
Following B2B meetings, participants also had the opportunity to showcase their capabilities on-site through industrial facility and factory visits, strengthening trust and collaboration.
