Statement Of Support For Entrepreneurs From the Ministry of Industry and Technology

Minister Varank stated that they want to make Turkey a strong global player in critical technologies and high value-added products and said that "the strength of the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem directly affects the speed of development". The Ministry of Industry and Technology and its affiliates help those who play a role in the ecosystem through various mechanisms in the concept of entrepreneurship, which is defined as one of the main policies of Turkey in the 2023 industry and Technology Strategy. KOSGEB, which supports up to 60 thousand TL as an organization and performance support with its" traditional Entrepreneur Program", contributes up to 370 thousand TL for consultancy services with its" advanced Entrepreneur Program " as well as support according to technology levels. In the case of entrepreneurs young, women, disabled, veterans or first-degree martyr relatives, 5 thousand pounds is added to the amounts determined at the time of each performance. In the traditional Entrepreneur Support Program, 28.9 million TL has been given to 4,735 enterprises and 155.2 million TL has been given to 2,996 enterprises within the scope of the Advanced Entrepreneur Support Program. "WE WILL FURTHER STRENGTHEN THE ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM" In the current situation, entrepreneurship in Turkey has been supported almost entirely by the public, Varank said, "but this is not a sustainable and healthy structure. The private sector needs to make the most of its potential and take risks. In this sense, we want the culture of doing business together to dominate the private sector."
