As Balıkesir Teknopark, we organized an informational meeting on TÜBİTAK 1501 – Industrial R&D Projects Funding Program and 1507 – SME R&D Startup Support Program in partnership with TÜBİTAK. The event was attended with great interest by our Teknopark companies, firms from Balıkesir Organized Industrial Zone and Balıkesir Chamber of Industry, R&D Centers, and academics from Balıkesir University.

The event featured presentations by Mr. Ramazan YEŞİLAY, Senior Specialist of TÜBİTAK Scientific Programs. During the sessions, participants were provided with detailed information on the scope of the programs, types of projects supported, application requirements, eligibility criteria, budget and support rates, as well as application and evaluation processes. In the Q&A session, discussions on participants’ questions and project ideas offered practical guidance, directly supporting the project preparation process.

This event, which contributes to strengthening the capacity for R&D and innovation-focused project development, represents an important step toward enabling regional companies to more effectively benefit from TÜBİTAK support.

We would like to thank all participating companies, SMEs, and academics, and extend our special gratitude to Mr. Ramazan YEŞİLAY, Senior Specialist of TÜBİTAK Scientific Programs, for his valuable insights and contributions.

As Balıkesir Teknopark, we will continue to enhance our companies’ access to national and international support programs and support R&D-focused projects.
