This article will provide information about IT company support in Turkey. Turkey has become a regional hub for technology entrepreneurs and software developers, offering massive government incentives. Specifically, with “Decision No. 5447 on the Internationalization of Turkey’s Information Technology Sector and the E-Turquality (Stars of IT) Program,” grants reaching millions of Liras are provided to companies operating in fields such as software, gaming, AI, and data centers. The first step to benefiting from these incentives is to establish a professional corporate structure compliant with Turkish legislation.
The concept of “IT Company Support in Turkey” represents one of the world’s most comprehensive incentive programs. By establishing your tech company in Turkey, you gain access to:
Government Grants: Direct cash supports for software developer salaries, digital marketing, and overseas expenses.
Vibrant Tech Ecosystem: Access to a highly skilled, cost-effective pool of engineers and developers.
Export-Oriented Growth: Specialized supports for companies looking to sell their digital products (apps, games, SaaS) to global markets.
Executed by the Ministry of Trade, this program aims to market the products and services of the Turkish IT sector abroad, increase the institutional capacities of companies, and create “Unicorns” (Turcorns). Here are the main support items available to companies incorporated by Heper Law & Consultancy:
Qualified personnel salaries, the biggest expense for IT companies, are supported by the government. Under the program, companies can receive a grant of 50% of the monthly gross wages of the personnel they employ for software, mobile applications, or digital games they develop. For companies accepted into the E-Turquality program, this support is provided for up to 10 employees simultaneously with much higher annual limits (up to 600,000 TL per employee).
Commissions paid to platforms like the App Store and Google Play when selling your applications and games abroad are no longer a burden. Commission fees paid by companies to digital platforms for overseas sales and distribution are supported at a rate of 50% with significant annual limits (up to 1,200,000 TL). For companies within the scope of E-Turquality, this rate increases up to 70% and 3,600,000 TL annually.
Digital ads, social media promotions, and PR activities to promote your product in the global market are covered. Companies can receive 60% support for overseas advertising, promotion, and marketing expenses ; while for those included in the “Stars of IT” program, this rate reaches 70% with very high limits up to 9,600,000 TL per year.
Rental expenses for units you will open abroad (offices, stores, warehouses, technopark offices, etc.) on the path to globalization are covered by the state. Companies can benefit from 60% rental support within certain annual limits per unit.
There are also special incentives for data center operators providing cloud computing and data storage services. Costs such as energy, cooling, and internet infrastructure, along with overseas marketing expenses, are supported at a rate of 60% of the project.
The prerequisite for benefiting from the incentives listed above is to own a capital company (Limited or Joint Stock Company) established in accordance with the Turkish Commercial Code. At emreheper.av.tr, we do not just incorporate your company; we prepare you for this incentive ecosystem.
