TİM İnovaLİG 2026 Applications Open: Measuring Corporate Innovation Performance

İnovaLİG 2026 Application Process Begins The Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) has opened applications for the 2026 term of the İnovaLİG Program, which aims to strengthen innovation awareness among companies.
Firms wishing to participate can complete their applications through the online system until April 30.
Innovation Management at International Standards İnovaLİG is based on the IMP3rove methodology, which is implemented in 17 countries worldwide and involves more than 7,500 companies.
Through this model, participating companies have the opportunity to measure and develop their innovation capacities according to both Turkish and European standards.
Every company participating in the program receives a comprehensive innovation assessment report, approximately 100 pages long and valued at 350 Euros, free of charge.
Institutionalization of Innovation and Strategic Approach The program's core approach is to treat innovation not as a one-time success, but as a managed, measured, and continuously developed corporate competency.
In this framework, İnovaLİG encourages companies to institutionalize their innovation processes and integrate them permanently into their organizational structures.
Contribution to Exports and Increasing Participation TİM President Mustafa Gültepe stated that İnovaLİG is not just an award program but also a transformation platform that develops the innovation management competencies of firms.
Noting that interest in the program increases every year, Gültepe reported that the number of applications rose from 460 in 2014 to 2,415 from 70 cities in 2025.
Emphasizing that the 152 firms that have received awards to date have made significant contributions to export growth, Gültepe noted that the 30 firms crowned champions in 2025 realized a total of $1.4 billion in exports.
