Hello, I have been wanting to talk to you about KOSGEB supports for a while. I will not talk to you about the 30,000 TL program that you can find plenty of around. Instead, I will talk about the R&D and innovation program. In this program, the total support amount can reach up to 300,000 TL.
KOSGEB has many support programs. You can apply for promotion, R&D, and many other topics with these supports. The works it supports at the highest rate are related to R&D and innovation. Within the scope of this support, the support rate can reach up to 75%. Also, if the project concludes successfully, you can also acquire devices for production through the industrial program.
For example, you wanted to develop a system running on the cloud, your project was approved, and you completed it successfully. Afterwards, you can request a server setup through the industrial program. This way, you can have both the software that adorns your dreams and the server set up in your hands.

Do We Have to Establish a Company to Apply for KOSGEB R&D and Innovation Programs?
You do not have to establish a company to apply to KOSGEB. However, if your application is approved, establishing a company is mandatory. KOSGEB also covers your company establishment expenses with 100% grant support.
Is it Mandatory for Consultant Companies to Prepare KOSGEB Projects?
If you have knowledge about what R&D is and how to prepare an R&D project, you do not need to get such a service. However, R&D requires serious effort. Just like SEO, you need to follow innovations constantly, conduct literature research, and read the regulations down to the finest detail. If you do not have experience and knowledge in this field, my advice to you is to apply through a consultant company. I recommend Nanodev Scientific to get consultancy about KOSGEB incentives . Unlike other consultant companies, it is primarily an R&D company.
Can We Get a KOSGEB Project with Software?
Absolutely yes. As long as your project contains R&D and is prepared accordingly.
Can We Get a KOSGEB Project to Build a Website?
It is possible if serious R&D is presented on the site. For example, if you say “I will develop a cloud system that includes artificial intelligence, data processing, and similar technologies that can be used in cloud systems,” and if you can present its innovative aspects well, of course, it happens.
But if you say “I will make a website in this field and earn money with Google AdSense,” unfortunately, this does not fall under R&D innovation support. However, you can apply for the 30,000 TL support you hear about in the news.
Does KOSGEB Cover Personnel Salaries?
There is personnel support within the scope of the program, but the company owner cannot write a salary for themselves. If you say “I want to write a salary for myself,” my advice to you is to examine TUBITAK programs or contact Nanodev Engineering.
Are There Criteria for Personnel?
When writing the salary for your personnel, the salary is adjusted according to their education level. There are different support rates for high school graduates, university graduates, master’s, and doctoral graduates.
What is the Form of Personnel Supports?
In KOSGEB R&D-innovation programs, salary supports are based on net salary. That is, the SGK employer share, SGK deductions, and taxes to be paid are not within the scope of support. It only covers 75% of the salary you deposit into your R&D personnel’s bank account.
I await your questions regarding the subject.
