Organizations that will apply must meet the criteria listed below.
•The registry date of the companies must be 2 years or more (excluding spin-offs and companies established with TÜBİTAK 1512 and/or 1812 support).
•The leading organization must be a private sector company with at least 75% private sector partnership. In joint projects, this condition is not required for partners.
•A Letter of Reference to be obtained from a finance organization must be submitted stating that guarantee can be provided if the project is supported.
•For each organization, the average total assets or net sales of the last 3 years must be greater than the reimbursement financing value. (This rule is not valid for start-ups and spin offs whose registry date is less than 2 years.)
•Organizations that will take part in the project must associate their work with climate, environmental and social risks according to the monitoring criteria defined in the Environmental and Social Impact Declaration Form.
•If there is a change in the eligibility criteria for the application conditions, the organization must inform TÜBİTAK.
For the successful completion of the project, at least one of the defined and targeted Green Transformation Indicators (GTI) must be achieved by the end of the project. The project proposal should specify which Green Transformation Indicator (GTI) is targeted, and the methodology for confirming the achievement of this target at the end of the project should be outlined within the scope of the relevant work package. The success of the project will be evaluated based on this systematic framework at the end of the project. Services can be procured from expert institutions and organizations for this study. The expenses for service procurement can be included in the project budget.
The success criteria to be used in determining the rate of conversion of reimbursable support into a grant support are as follows:
GTI 1: Reduction in electricity consumption per unit of production (at least 10%)
GTI 2: Reduction in water consumption per unit of production (at least 10%)
GTI 3: Reduction in the amount of non-recyclable waste (at least 10%)
GTI 4: Development of innovative green technology solutions
The achievement of Green Transformation Indicators targets should be reported to TÜBİTAK in the final report during the monitoring process.
