KOSGEB Digital-Transformation Grants: How to Claim Up to TL 200,000 for ERP Investment

KOSGEB, TÜBİTAK and Ministry HAMLE/SAYEM — the three Turkish public programmes that co-finance ERP investments, and how to apply.

Türkiye has three major public programmes that co-finance SME digital-transformation investments: KOSGEB Digitalisation, TÜBİTAK BiGG / SME R&D, and the Ministry of Industry and Technology's HAMLE / SAYEM. ERP investments — Birasyo included — are eligible, and a correctly-structured application can return 50-80% of the spend as a grant.

1. KOSGEB SME Digitalisation Support

The most commonly used programme. Under the 2026 guidance:

  • Cap: TL 200,000 (non-repayable grant)
  • Ratio: 70% of eligible cost (excluding VAT)
  • Scope: software licence, implementation, consulting, training and limited hardware
  • Application: online via the KOSGEB portal
  • Timeline: ~45-60 days from submission to approval

Eligible applicants: any business registered as an SME with KOSGEB — retail, manufacturing or services.

2. TÜBİTAK BiGG and SME R&D

For companies developing technology or integrating bespoke BI / analytics:

  • TÜBİTAK 1507 — SME R&D Start-Up Programme: up to TL 1.2M at a 75% grant ratio
  • TÜBİTAK BiGG (Entrepreneurial): TL 450,000 grant plus mentorship for early-stage tech companies

ERP customisation for sector-specific logic (multi-level BOMs, special pricing engines) can qualify.

3. Ministry of Industry — HAMLE and SAYEM

For mid-to-large manufacturers:

  • HAMLE: TL 5-20M for production-line digitalisation + IoT + ERP integration
  • SAYEM: sector-level digital-transformation projects

What Documents Are Required?

All three programmes expect similar files:

  1. Detailed vendor proposal: module list, user count, annual cost, implementation timeline
  2. Vendor qualification letter: evidence the vendor can deliver the SME's needs
  3. Investment rationale with measurable outcome: e.g., "reduce monthly close from 5 days to 1 day"
  4. Corporate / financial documents: balance sheet, tax registration, current SGK clearance
  5. Project timeline: 6-12 month phased plan

What Birasyo Contributes to Your Application

For customers going through KOSGEB/TÜBİTAK we prepare, free of charge:

  • A vendor letter (letterheaded, signed, notary-approvable)
  • A detailed investment breakdown (module × user × year matrix)
  • A technical narrative in the format the grant body expects

Our customers' success rate is ~82%. Rejections mostly stem from missing documents or wrong category choices — which is why we hold a joint prep session with you and your CPA before submission.

A Practical Calendar

January-February: KOSGEB publishes the year's calls — follow closely.

March: finalise the investment decision, receive a vendor proposal, prepare paperwork.

April-May: submit and evaluation.

June: approval and contracting.

Post-June: payments and implementation; expense documentation submitted at programme close (12-18 months later).

If you have an active project within this year's calendar, open a demo request — we return a KOSGEB-ready quote pack within two business days.
