Amendments to the Technology Move Program Implementation Rules
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This amendment changes how projects are reviewed, scored, monitored, and closed under Türkiye’s Technology Move Program. It updates definitions, restructures the project commission process, and makes TÜBİTAK, KOSGEB, the Ministry, and investment incentive units more clearly involved in reviewing supported technology investment projects. Businesses applying for support should expect more formal scoring, clearer pre-review criteria, stricter document handling through the Program Portal, and defined appeal windows. Investors also face tighter completion checks: projects that fail to meet targets may be removed from the program, and extra support received under the program can be recovered if the project is moved to another incentive scheme or terminated.
