R&D Services

In the free initial consultation we listen to the idea, assess its scientific feasibility and plan the first steps.

Yes. We support project preparation, the application file and execution. For details, see our R&D & TÜBİTAK consulting page.

Intellectual property terms are clarified in the contract at the start of the project.

It depends on the complexity of the topic. The feasibility and prototype stage starts at a few months; productization is planned separately.

Yes; R&D is inherently uncertain. We stage the investment with gates and report what was learned as valuable output.

R&D is systematic work aimed at producing new knowledge or using existing knowledge to develop new products, processes or services. Original, methodical activities that involve technical uncertainty count as R&D; routine updates are generally out of scope.

The stages are idea and literature review, feasibility, design, prototype, testing and validation, pilot implementation and productization. Outputs and decision points are defined at each stage, so risks are seen early.

Academic staff suited to the topic are identified, and the scope and intellectual property terms are put in writing by the parties; if needed, a joint project is carried out under a funding program. Our academic team acts as a bridge in these collaborations.

Non-disclosure agreements, document management and, when needed, preliminary research for patent, utility model or design registration are carried out. Ownership rights are clearly defined in the contract. For legal filings, we recommend working with specialist patent attorneys.

Personnel, equipment, service procurement and testing costs are planned by work package. If a funding program is to be used, eligible cost items and application rules are evaluated separately according to the relevant call text.

Once the prototype is validated, a productization plan is prepared with a scalable architecture, quality assurance, a production or release plan and user feedback. The go-to-market strategy is also part of this plan.

The legislation provides various incentives and exemptions for R&D and design activities. The conditions for using them vary by company and period. We recommend evaluating them with your accountant according to current legislation; we support the technical documentation side.
