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