This call was launched to support activities for the establishment and execution of mentoring mechanisms to increase the business development and innovation capacities of SMEs.

In order to ensure more effective and efficient use of public resources allocated to Research and Innovation, the rationale for this call is to develop and implement a mentoring mechanism for the commercialization of the products and services of SMEs supported under TÜBİTAK TEYDEB Programs, for these SMEs to enter new markets and to increase their export capacity.

Within the scope of the call, mentoring service is defined as "guidance in innovation management and commercialization processes by transferring the experience and knowledge of people who have more knowledge and experience in their field than the other person and who know and want to benefit from this feature to SMEs". As a result of this call, Interfaces will be created to provide mentoring services to SMEs.
