Yes. Entrepreneurs who do not yet have an established business may apply under the R&D, Product Development and Innovation Support Program. Entrepreneurs whose projects are approved for support by the Board must establish their business within 6 months from the date the Board decision is officially notified.

If an application is submitted, the Board convenes within 30 days at the latest from the date the application is referred to the Board. If errors or missing information are identified by the Board Secretariat, the time required to complete these procedures is added to this period.

The Board evaluates the project in accordance with the R&D, Product Development and Innovation Support Program Board Evaluation Criteria Form. The evaluation covers factors such as the project’s economic contribution and wider impact, activity and time planning, the qualifications of the project owner/entrepreneur and project personnel, as well as budget and cost-effectiveness.

Under business establishment expenses, this support is provided on a one-time basis to beneficiaries who apply for an R&D and Innovation Project as entrepreneurs. A non-repayable grant of TRY 5,000 is provided to businesses established as sole proprietorships, while TRY 10,000 is provided to businesses established as capital companies.

The project duration must be in multiples of 4 months and may range from a minimum of 8 months to a maximum of 24 months. Upon the beneficiary’s request, an extension of up to 12 months may be granted by Board decision, in multiples of 4 months. However, the total project duration, including any extension, cannot exceed 24 months.

No. If your business has tax and/or Social Security Institution (SGK) debt exceeding the limits specified in the relevant legislation, the outstanding debt is first deducted from the support amount and transferred to the bank account of the relevant institution or organization. Any remaining amount is then paid to your business’s bank account as support. However, for payment to be made directly to the service provider (supplier), your business must not have SGK and/or tax debt exceeding the limits specified in the relevant legislation.

If it is decided that the project has not been successfully completed, non-repayable support payments are not reclaimed. Repayable support amounts, however, are collected in accordance with the applicable procedures and conditions.
