The OECD.AI Policy Navigator

This support model aims to facilitate collaboration between companies seeking artificial intelligence solutions and relevant stakeholders. The model encourages companies to form a consortium comprising a technology provider, a university research laboratory/center or a public research center/institute with expertise in artificial intelligence, and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye Artificial Intelligence Institute.

Companies in need of AI solutions for sector-specific problems can actively seek out partners to join their consortium. To expedite and optimize the process of addressing these needs, the Artificial Intelligence Institute will provide support by pairing experienced technology providers with university research laboratories and public research centers or institutes. By fostering these collaborations, the support model aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of solving AI-related challenges in various sectors. It leverages the expertise of technology providers, research laboratories, and public research centers to deliver tailored solutions to companies, promoting innovation and advancement in the field of artificial intelligence.Launched in 2022, the decision to hold a second call for applications was driven by the high demand and the successful outcomes achieved through projects initiated in the first phase. This support program capitalizes on the expertise of Turkiye-based companies in the field of artificial intelligence and emphasizes the implementation of project results within the country.
