Strategic Funding TÜBİTAK is Turkey's leading agency for management, funding and conduct of research, with broad government backing and national priority alignment. This signals strong potential for partnerships around large-scale R&D programs, consortium grants, and policy-driven innovation initiatives.

Research Network Employing 1,500+ researchers across 15 institutes, TÜBİTAK offers access to a wide national research network for collaboration, technology scouting, prototype testing, and joint funding opportunities with universities and industry partners.

Technology Focus Active in advanced material membranes and propulsion/defense tech (e.g., PFAS-free membranes and manoeuvring thrusters), TÜBİTAK demonstrates momentum in high-value, export-relevant technologies suitable for licensing, joint development, or supplier partnerships.

International Collaboration Recent partnerships with Koç University, NRF Korea, and the French Ministry indicate a strong openness to international co-funding and joint research programs, creating avenues for global sponsorships, partner-led consortia, and cross-border tech transfer.

Public Sector Alignment As the secretariat of Turkey’s Supreme Council for Science and Technology and an advisory body to the government, TÜBİTAK seeks policy-aligned solutions and systemic innovations, presenting opportunities for consulting, pilot programs, and scalable solutions that support national targets and sustainable development.
