In Türkiye, KOSGEB, TÜBİTAK, development agencies and the Ministry of Trade — and internationally, European Union programmes — offer businesses a range of grants and incentives. Each has its own purpose, scope and rules. Completing these seven steps first makes the process far more efficient.
1. Clarify your project
You should be able to summarise what you want to do, why, and the expected result on a single page.
2. Choose the right programme
| Need | Sources usually considered |
|---|---|
| R&D and innovation | TÜBİTAK, Horizon Europe |
| SME growth and digitalisation | KOSGEB, development agencies |
| Export and promotion | Ministry of Trade support |
| Investment | Investment incentive system |
3. Read the current call
Support rates, ceilings and eligibility criteria can change from one period to the next. Always rely on the latest call published by the institution.
4. Check your eligibility
Company type, size, sector code and tax or social security status may be preconditions.
5. Prepare a realistic budget
Back each item with market prices and collect quotes in advance.
6. Explain impact and sustainability
Set measurable targets — jobs, exports, productivity or technology gains.
7. Plan implementation and reporting
After approval, procurement rules, expense documents and interim reports must be managed carefully.
The right programme, a well-written project and disciplined reporting: the three pillars of a successful grant process.
Exima Group manages the entire process with you — from choosing the programme and writing the proposal to the final report.
