The programme focuses on supporting solutions that demonstrate environmental impact through reduced carbon emissions, resource use, or pollution, showcase innovation and scalability, align with the circular economy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), contribute to decarbonization and net-zero goals, promote community engagement and empowerment and demonstrate strong business viability with commercialization and market growth potential.
The Inclusive Green Transition Call is designed for businesses in Türkiye that are owned by migrants or employ migrants and are committed to developing environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions. The programme supports ideas that reduce environmental impacts, adopt low-carbon technologies, and promote circularity while contributing to the country’s transition towards a green economy. Businesses developing solutions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are encouraged to apply.
Selected teams will participate in the GCIP Accelerator, which includes an intensive business training programme to strengthen cleantech solutions, improve business skills, and build connections with innovators. Participants will attend a 3–4-day National Training Academy followed by a 15-week Acceleration Phase featuring webinar-based training, mentorship, investor connections, prizes, and a final award ceremony.
The programme will select up to 10 teams, although the final number may vary depending on the applications received. It is open to migrant-owned MSMEs, MSMEs employing migrants, and businesses operating in sectors with a high number of migrant workers in Türkiye. The call primarily targets participants who have relocated to Türkiye from another country, including migrants, expats, and international student entrepreneurs. Turkish citizens are also eligible to apply. Applications from women entrepreneurs, young entrepreneurs, migrants, expats, and international student entrepreneurs are particularly encouraged. Applications may be submitted in Turkish.
