About
We develop digital products and systems at the intersection of architecture, artificial intelligence, and spatial technologies.
Founded in 2025 at Teknopark İzmir, Khora brings architecture and software together to develop technologies focused on artificial intelligence, spatial data, digital transformation, and next-generation design tools. As Türkiye’s third and İzmir’s first and only TÜBİTAK BiGG Co-Investment venture, Khora operates within the İYTE and Teknopark İzmir ecosystem.
Today, alongside developing its own technology products, Khora leads large-scale digital transformation projects for institutions such as the Chamber of Architects of Türkiye and collaborates with public institutions, universities, and private-sector organizations on national and international projects.
