Fit Startup Factory Makes it Among the Most Successful Interfaces

The BIGG Acceleration Program participants achieved a resounding success during the TÜBİTAK BIGG Program’s 1st Call Period in 2019.

During the 1st Call Period in 2019, 1,589 entrepreneurs were admitted to the 1st Phase of the program to receive training and mentorship support under the roof of 30 official interfaces.

In the 2nd phase of the program, out of 395 entrepreneurs who were nominated for the TÜBİTAK grant, only 155 qualified for the grant, 7 of whom are the participants of the Fit Startup Factory’s BIGG Acceleration Program. 

Thus, with 63% of its participants being qualified for a grant, the Fit Startup Factory’s BIGG Acceleration Program surpassed the average success rate of grant proposals in Turkey (39.2%). Furthermore, the program has also demonstrated the highest performance among the 30 official interfaces across Turkey.

The Fit Startup Factory participants will use their 1.4 million TL of TÜBİTAK BIGG grant to bring more convenience to the lives of farmers, prevent fraud, develop new generation fuel technologies to bring long distances closer, join the space competition, ensure the sustainability of energy resources, and make quantum research technologies more accessible.

This year, while the number of official interfaces has dropped from 30 to 23, the Fit Startup Factory will continue to serve as the official interface of the TÜBİTAK BIGG program.
