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. Three different call periods for SME Support for 1707 Order-based R&D Projects have been defined for the year 2025.

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 opened by TÜBİTAK within the scope of the Türkiye Green Industry Project, which will last for 6 years. One of these calls is the Call for Green Transformation in Industry.
Projects to be submitted to the call are expected to be a continuation of previously conducted R&D activities. Studies that have been carried out with the support of TÜBİTAK-TEYDEB or KOSGEB, that have reached a certain stage but have not yet been commercialized, and that include products or services that still require R&D efforts to be commercialized, are within the scope of the call. In addition, green transformation-oriented R&D and innovation projects that organizations have brought to a certain stage with their own financial resources can also be evaluated within the scope of this call, if the preliminary studies are stated in the project. Prototype development or improvement, validation and certification tests, on-site application, scaling, demonstration and field trials covering the THS 5-9 range are within the scope of the call.
Projects that are compatible with the R&D and Innovation Topics within the scope of the Türkiye Green Industry Project are included in the call. Click here to access the scope.
