The Open Bench New Year's Market was held at TED University on December 24–25, 2025, in collaboration with İstasyonTEDÜ, the TED University Directorate of Social and Cultural Affairs, and the TED University Architecture and Design Society.

This year, a total of 16 social enterprises working in various fields, including sustainable textiles, eco-friendly personal care and cleaning products, organic food, and educational material design, as well as 29 prominent designers from Ankara, participated in the Open Bench New Year's Market. In addition, eight social entrepreneurs and designers who wished to showcase their products and services conducted free, hands-on workshops throughout the event. These workshops provided visitors, including TED University students and academic and administrative staff, with the opportunity to connect with social enterprises and designers, learn more about their work, and create together.
