What we offer
A venture needs more than a desk: a mentor, a laboratory, an incentive and the right person are all needed at once. This page sets out, heading by heading, what sits behind each of them.
01
One-to-one matching with mentors experienced in the field.
Advisory fields
AcademicProjectFinancialLegalTraining
The match is made by field: the mentor is someone who knows the venture's sector and the step it is on. The advisory side covers law, financial consultancy, R&D incentives and trademark guidance.
Fellow travellers
Every venture is matched with a mentor experienced in its field. The cards below show the expertise profiles offered as mentoring — not individuals.
02
From a desk to a private office: the space grows as the need grows. The shared workspace and the virtual office are open to you even before you incorporate, and the meeting rooms come with all three.
03
Demo days, training sessions, mentor meet-ups and founder–investor conversations take place in these halls.

Ankara University's laboratory network, academic expertise and technology transfer processes are directly open to ventures.
That access is an advantage no venture can buy from the outside.
05
Access to the investor network, and preparation for investment.
Investment readiness starts before the pitch: the numbers, the legal structure and the story are put in order together. A meeting pays off when you arrive ready, not when you sit down.
06
Guidance for TÜBİTAK, KOSGEB, EU and other national and international support schemes.
Before you apply, we work out together which call fits your project. Writing the proposal belongs under this heading too.
07
Contact with academic, industrial and public stakeholders.
Academia, industry, the public sector, investors and mentors around the same table. A venture reaches the person it needs in a single step.
How can we work with you?
08
Intellectual property, licensing and technology transfer.
Who owns an invention, who holds the licence, how the revenue is shared — commercialisation puts the answers in writing.
09
Support for internationalisation and export.
The target market's regulation, certification and distribution channel are planned before the product is ready.
Exporting is not a sales channel bolted on later; it is a business model built in from the start.

A Technology Development Centre supported by KOSGEB.
Ankara University TEKMER is a Technology Development Centre supported by KOSGEB and holds the right to use the KOSGEB TEKMER name. Our entrepreneurs reach KOSGEB programmes and support processes faster, with our guidance.
What is a Technology Development Centre?Companies running an R&D project on our premises can benefit from the advantages and R&D incentives of Law No. 5746 on the Support of Research, Development and Design Activities. The tax incentives the law provides are handled under this heading. Eligibility is assessed company by company and project by project: which incentives can apply is something we determine together, according to the state of your company and your project.
Official legislation
We do not keep a copy of the legislation on this site: a copy goes stale as the law changes and starts telling you the wrong thing. These links go straight to the official source.
The legislation explicitly covers the technology centres (technology centre enterprises) founded under KOSGEB's establishing law. Which incentives can apply depends on the company and the project; we assess eligibility together.
Fill in the application form; we will go through the support headings that suit your stage in the first review.
