The 2nd Gastronomy Festival, organised by IGU on 22 May 2025, was held this year under the theme of ‘GastroTech.’ The event, which highlighted technological innovations, sustainable applications and digital transformation, brought together students, academics, industry professionals and gastronomy enthusiasts. GastroTech 2025, which received extensive coverage in the national media, impressively reflected the harmony between taste and technology.
At the festival, AI-supported gastronomy applications attracted great interest. Innovative pastry products designed with AI won the approval of participants, while robots' food presentations left the audience in awe. The media highlighted the robots' precise decoration techniques and real-time customer interaction skills. AI-driven flavour optimisation and robotic pastry presentations were widely covered in news bulletins.
The news stories featured in the national press were planned in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Quality Education (SDG 4) and Responsible Production and Consumption (SDG 12), contributing to the implementation of a sustainable and innovative approach in gastronomy education.
