The European Union Projects, especially, Horizon 2020 and Europe constitute a big part of our activities. We are working closely with cities to tackle societal challenges through EU funding programmes. The competition is very high and only excellent and high impact projects get funded.

We have been working with cities and achieved to bring around 30 million € to Turkey. On the grounds that being highly engaged with EU Commission projects, we are connected to over 60 EU cities.
