Synopsis  

Our distinguished guest speakers wish to introduce the Tech-InvesTR Venture Capital Support Program, sanctioned by the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey Investment Office. In collaboration with Tübitak (Turkish equivalent of A*STAR) and Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance, the Program’s purpose is to support (via grants) Technology Transfer Offices, Technoparks, Research Infrastructures that invest in Venture Capital Fund and, in turn, support early stage (SME size) technology ventures, that have the potential to add value to the Turkish economy.

The intent is to launch a US$260 million consolidated fund to be managed by multiple venture capital fund managers with investments from Turkish public investors such as the Turkish Treasury, Tübitak and University R&D Centres and other private investors such as venture capital and private equity fund managers and family offices. The speakers will also provide a summary on Turkey’s investment climate.
