The 1707 Order R&D Program aims to transform solution proposals designed to meet the needs of Customer Organizations into commercially viable outputs by SMEs through R&D activities. TÜBİTAK and Customer Organizations facilitate SMEs' need-oriented R&D activities through co-financing during this significant process. SMEs are executing innovative products and processes tailored to their customers. Ground is being prepared for sharing financing risks among industrial organizations and understanding intellectual property rights, allowing organizations with relatively more experience in project management to transfer their experiences to SMEs.

Due to the high efficiency of the projects initiated with the first Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Call in 2022 and the strong demand from our stakeholders, the call has been reopened on June 3rd.
The Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Call aims to transform artificial intelligence technologies developed by companies based in Turkey and committed to implementing the project results in Turkey into products or solutions, in line with the needs of companies that require artificial intelligence solutions internally. This transformation leverages the knowledge accumulated in university/public research centers and institutes.
Under this program, five priority areas will be supported. These priority areas are:
Smart Manufacturing Systems,
Smart Agriculture, Food, and Livestock,
Financial Technologies,
Climate Change and Sustainability,
Smart Education Technologies.
In this support model, it is expected that customer organizations in need of AI solutions will form a consortium with at least one technology provider company, at least one university research laboratory/center or public research center/institute experienced in this field, and the TÜBİTAK Artificial Intelligence Institute. The consortium applying for the project must sign a cooperation agreement prior to the application.
The call schedule is given below. Applications will be sent online at https://eteydeb.tubitak.gov.tr.
Call opening date: 3 June 2024
