In addition to competing with their robots, participants will also have the chance to present their startups. This way, they will get to know the world's most famous entrepreneurs, engineers, and investors.

The selection round of the competition will be held in Azerbaijan on March 2–3, with the participation of several countries. The winning teams in the selection round will have the right to participate in the semi-finals, which will be held in Antalya on April 20-21.

In the final stage of this prestigious event, which has been organised since 2001, thousands of robotics engineers, professionals, and enthusiasts from every continent gather under the same roof every year and exchange global knowledge and experience. Everyone can participate in International Robetex from pre-school age to 4th year higher education students.

It should be noted that the purpose of the International Robotex Competition is to teach young generations not only to be interested in science and technology but also to gain experience in these fields to face the challenges of the 21st century, as well as to educate children and young people about these issues in our world, where robotics, artificial intelligence, and automation play an increasingly important role.

Robotex provides participants with networking, international development, and academic advancement. The purpose of this festival is not only to compete or learn but also to create an extensive communication network that connects participants with industry leaders, engineers, managers, students, and apprentices.
