The “Good Practices in Technology Transfer Report” prepared within the scope of the European Union-funded “Strengthening Technology Transfer Ecosystem through Innovative and Digital Approaches” (STEIDA) project was published. The report includes successful technology transfer mechanisms selected from Türkiye, Bulgaria, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia and Croatia.
The model that stands out as a good practice from Türkiye is the 1812 - BiGG Investment Program run by TÜBİTAK.
The BiGG Investment Program is a comprehensive support mechanism that aims to transform technology and innovation-oriented business ideas into sustainable initiatives. The program provides both financial and strategic support to entrepreneurs from the idea stage to the market, and aims to increase the investability of early-stage startups through public-private partnerships.
In the evaluation made within the scope of the STEIDA project, it was stated that the BiGG Investment Program stands out in the following aspects:
- Structure to improve the investment capacity of early-stage startups,
- Establishing effective public-private partnerships,
- Implementation of sustainable support mechanisms.
The inclusion of the program in this selection contributes to the recognition of Türkiye's public support in the field of entrepreneurship and technology transfer at the European level; it also strengthens Türkiye's international visibility in the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
