With the support of the World Bank, 450 million dollars of financing has been allocated to the Turkish Green Industry Project, which is carried out by TÜBİTAK and KOSGEB under the coordination of the Ministry of Industry and Technology. Within the scope of the project, TÜBİTAK - TEYDEB will support the green transformation of the industry throughout the project with a financing of 175 million dollars. Different types of calls will be open by TÜBİTAK within the scope of the Türkiye Green Industry Project, which will last for 6 years. One of these calls is the SAYEM Green Transformation Call.
Within the scope of the call, private sector, university, and public collaboration will be supported to create innovation platforms, forming a technology ecosystem for Research and Development (R&D) and Innovation Networks focused on industry. These networks aim to contribute to the sustainable growth of our country by developing high-value-added products or product groups. Under the leadership of the private sector and in collaboration with universities and the public sector, the establishment of a specialized R&D and Innovation Platform is encouraged. Through this platform, the creation of Productization Roadmaps (ÜYH) and support for Productization Programs (ÜPG) aimed at developing products or product groups for green transformation within the framework of these roadmaps will be facilitated. Consortium applications within the platform structure will be accepted for this call. The conditions for becoming the platform coordinator are specified in the call announcement.
