The Turkish Technology Team Foundation is a non-governmental organization that carries out various projects with the goal of a technology developing Turkey. Our foundation was founded in December 2016 by a group of young entrepreneurs and young professionals and began operating in January 2017 in order to make science and technology accessible to all segments of society, train our young people under equal opportunities and turn the National Technology Initiative into a culture in the long term.

The foundation's primary field of activity is the establishment and support of teams for technical trainings and workshops for secondary school, high school and university youth, as well as project competitions. The second field of activity consists of providing technical and logistic support to technology startups in incubation and acceleration centers and providing capital supports through venture investment funds.

The Turkish Technology Team Foundation was founded in December 2016 by a group of young entrepreneurs and young professionals who believe that realizing the National Technology Initiative is inevitable for Türkiye to raise its voice for a better world and become a truly developed and fully independent society and began operating in January 2017. You can find detailed information about our Board of Trustees and Board members on the "Board" page.

The “National Technology Initiative” covers all efforts to develop national and unique technological products and systems in line with Turkey's goals of development and strengthening its independence in every aspect. The goal of National Technology Initiative is a Türkiye that develops and exports technology, produces high added value, has a high capacity of R&D.

We provide support for startups within the scope of our 1001 Technology Initiative project. In our six-term acceleration program for early-stage technology startups, we offer investment support, office space, startup workshop, expert support, training, mentor support, and bring startups together with potential investors and customers through our investor network and corporate company cluster.

Our first priority is for startups to create added value with technology in critical areas that will increase the competitiveness of our country. On the other hand, we aim for these initiatives to create sparks in areas where there is a paradigm shift in technological development. We attach importance to the ownership of system/sub-system solutions, which are strategically important to be developed in our country, from the design to the product stage with the original design capability. Since we believe that ideas that stand on their feet are nourished by existing experiences, we want startups to be able to form technology clusters together with visionary institutions. In addition, we know that a good startup is made up of diligent people who believe in themselves, which is why we attach great importance to the team.

One of our goals as a foundation is to transform domestic capitalists into technology investors. We invite capital owners who currently prefer safer investment instruments to invest in national technology initiatives to realize the national technology move. In this way, we support our initiatives with our investor network and venture capital fund.

We listen to the projects of the shortlisted entrepreneurs who are invited to the selection day. Although we would like to listen to everyone, unfortunately we cannot accept entrepreneur presentations outside the selection days.

The team is the most important evaluation criterion for us and we do not support team building. The "Technical Expert" support among our supports is not to develop your product on your behalf, but to help you with the issues you are stuck with.

Our six-month accelerator program application process takes 2 months. Applications to T3 Startup Center programs are accepted online. All applications are evaluated by a committee including experts in the relevant technology field, public and private sector representatives and investors, and shortlisted startups are identified. Shortlisted startups are invited to the Selection Day to present their business ideas. After the presentations, the six-month acceleration program marathon starts for the selected startups!

The foundation was established with individual donations made by its founders. The foundation receives sponsorship from institutions that wish to support the specific projects it carries out.
