1812 - TÜBİTAK Investment-Based Entrepreneurship Support Program- Within the scope of the 2025-1 BiGG Investment call, entrepreneurs who qualify for support with the Excellence Seal will receive an investment equivalent to 3% equity from the TÜBİTAK BiGG Fund.
Business plans receiving co-investment can benefit from the fast support application. In this regard, legal entities acting on behalf of the implementing organization, either through an implementing organization or according to the contract among themselves, will be able to co-invest with the TÜBİTAK BiGG Fund within the framework of the 1812-TÜBİTAK Investment-Based Entrepreneurship Support Program. The Excellence Seal will be awarded without a panel evaluation for business plans that fulfil the co-investment commitment.
