Geçmiş Yıllarda TÜBİTAK-TWAS Teşvik Ödülü Alanlar

The new implementing organizations that will serve entrepreneurs by carrying out the activities of the TÜBİTAK 1812 Investment-Based Entrepreneurship Support Program (BiGG Investment) Phase 1 Acceleration Program during the 2026-2028 period have been announced. 

The BiGG Investment Program aims to prepare early-stage, technology and innovation-focused startups to receive investment through qualified support mechanisms, mobilize private sector and public resources, and strengthen the entrepreneurship ecosystem in a sustainable manner. In line with this objective, the newly designated Implementing Organizations will undertake critical tasks such as running acceleration programs for technology and innovation-focused entrepreneurs, providing mentorship and business model development activities, and preparing them for investment processes.

In the new implementing organization model, updated with an investment-focused support mechanism, priority has been given to aspects such as the content of the acceleration program, the design of training modules, and the provision of mentoring support. 54 project applications from 141 organizations were submitted to the 2025 Call. As a result of the evaluations, it was decided to support 35 projects. 104 organizations within the accepted projects will be able to run Acceleration Programs for entrepreneurs as implementing organizations under the BiGG Investment Program. Of the 104 organizations included in the projects eligible for support, 40 are technology development zones, 38 are universities, university technology transfer offices (TTO) and TTO companies, 20 are capital companies, 11 are TEKMER, 3 are banks, and 2 are public research institutes/research infrastructure. 

The organizations, which aim to develop the entrepreneurship ecosystem by combining their competencies and will carry out the BiGG Investment Program 1st phase acceleration program processes in the 2026-2028 period, will evaluate entrepreneurs' technology-focused business idea applications and accept suitable business ideas into the acceleration program. Various training modules will ensure that entrepreneurs have the knowledge and equipment to design their business models and prepare their business plans. In this regard, it is expected that entrepreneurs will be provided with mentor support and assistance with the investment processes. Through all these activities, the implementing organizations will support entrepreneurs in the business idea validation processes and in preparing qualified business plans.

Since 2012, TÜBİTAK has been supporting entrepreneurs within the scope of the BiGG and BiGG Investment Programs, from the idea stage to the market, so that they can transform their technology and innovation-focused business ideas into products and services with superior commercial value in the R&D-potential companies they will establish. Implementing organizations have carried out the acceleration processes, which constitute the first phase of the program supporting entrepreneurs to transform innovative business ideas into tangible products and services, since 2015.

The list of implementing organizations that will carry out the BiGG Investment Phase 1 Acceleration Program activities in the 2026-2028 period:

Projects found suitable in the pre-evaluation process will proceed to the evaluation. External evaluator will be appointed from academia, private sector, public institutions, and non-governmental organizations for the peer review process. Evaluations will be conducted through on-site visits. 

If the following critical determinations are made, the project may be submitted to the relevant Group Executive Board (GEB) with a recommendation for rejection without starting the external evaluation process.

• The project proposal does not comply with the subject and scope of the call.

• The project is an investment project aimed at creating production infrastructure.
• As of the project application date, there is no project personnel in the project team who has at least a bachelor's degree related to the project subject.
• If employees who have a bachelor's degree in a field different from the project subject present their experience with the project subject in their resumes, the adequacy of their experience will also be taken into account.
• The project proposal has been previously submitted to calls opened by TÜBİTAK and has been rejected. The project has been resubmitted without making changes to the reasons for the previous rejection.
• The information provided in the project proposal is insufficient for the evaluation of the project; a limited amount of information has been presented.
• The R&D activities to be carried out in the project and the presented expense items are not qualitatively and quantitatively aligned; a realistic budget planning has not been made. The majority of budget items consist of unnecessary and excessive requests that do not contribute to the R&D activities.

Following evaluation process, if critical findings are identified, the projects are rejected without scoring in the committee.

Project scores are created based on evaluations by both external evaluators and the Group Executive Board for the projects.

Projects that meet the following criteria will be awarded additional points in addition to the evaluators assessment made over 100 points.

• Commercialization performance of TÜBİTAK projects supported in the past (between 5-10 points depending on the evaluation of the group executive board)
• The company has applied for a project to international funds (5 Points)
• Having a project application that is a continuation of the projects supported within the framework of 1702 Patent License calls (5 Points)

The Robotaxi Full-Scale Autonomous Vehicle Competition, organized under the technical leadership of TÜBİTAK Informatics and Information Security Advanced Technologies Research Center (BİLGEM) and the overall coordination of the Directorate for Science and Society (BİTO), aims to develop autonomous driving algorithms. Organized in two different categories, namely Ready Vehicle and Unique Vehicle, the competition allows teams in the Ready Vehicle category to run their software on autonomous vehicle platforms provided by TEKNOFEST, while teams in the Unique Vehicle category participate in the competition by developing both the vehicle and its software entirely from scratch.

The competition is open to high school, associate, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students, as well as graduates, studying in Türkiye or abroad. Teams that have successfully passed the Critical Design Report stage are now eligible to submit their Vehicle Test Videos and Simulation Videos. Based on the video evaluation results, the finalist teams will be determined.

Evaluation results are available on the KYS portal.

We sincerely thank all participating teams for their efforts and congratulate those who have advanced to the next stage.

A maximum of 25 researchers will be supported per year. The applications are evaluated in two phases.

The European Marine Board (EMB) is an international organization that determines research priorities and strategies related to European seas, ensures cooperation among its members, and aims to carry out studies related to the seas on a common level. The organization previously served as an Expert Board of the European Science Foundation (ESF), but in 2016 it decided to leave the ESF and continue its activities as an independent organization working in the field of environment and sea. The organization, which has the mission of conveying the outputs obtained from scientific research on the seas to decision-makers, is one of the scientific and technological guides of Europe in marine research.

The European Marine Board continued its activities after it became an independent structure in 2016, and our institution continued its participation in the activities of the organization.

Membership of the Organization provides benefits in terms of the participation of TÜBİTAK MAM Environment Institute researchers in the Framework Program projects concerning the Eastern Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Sea coasts, the direction of the projects, and the promotion of the studies through representative participation in the Organization's regular meetings.
