Cyberpark Technology Incubator is Turkey's first private incubator within a technopark,
that mainly focuses on supporting start-up companies operating in ICT sector and aims to
create an "incubation culture" in Turkey.
Operating in an incubator space, startups can benefit from financial gains such as a much
lower working capital, better and easily maintained support, and administrative services.
Furthermore, they can also benefit from the tax incentives of the Technology
Development Zones Law (No:4691) under the same conditions as regular Cyberpark tenant companies.
The goal of the incubator is to nurture technology based start-ups or young companies and
entrepreneurs with long-term potential for success to the point where they are ready for the market.
It will reach this goal by promoting the effective use of ICT and by providing them with necessary expertise,
networks and tools, to make their ventures successful, while contributing to the creation of an "ICT based
incubation culture" in Turkey.
Incubator is located on the second floor of Cyberplaza Block B
