Türkiye in ITEA

Since nearly 20 years, Türkiye has been a very strong and stable supporting country with 130+ ITEA projects and 3,000+ person-years in terms of effort. Thanks to the support of TÜBİTAK and through ITEA, many impactful outcomes have been created by Turkish project partners. While the projects with Turkish participation successfully tackle all ITEA key challenges, there's a focus on addressing issues in the Smart Engineering, Safety & Security and Smart Health domains.

On this webpage, you will find an overview of activities and publications of Türkiye in ITEA. It provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of participating in an ITEA project and whether ITEA could be a fit for your organisation. You can also find information regarding the funding opportunities and the national funding contact details.

Impact stories with Turkish participation

Impact is one of the main ambitions in ITEA. Impact on business, on the market, on society. This is a key value in ITEA, and impact and potential impact are central during the project lifecycle: in project evaluation, monitoring, closure and in communication of the results. With the (financial) support of national Public Authorities, many ITEA projects have achieved incredible results, which are gathered in ITEA Impact stories.

I2PANEMA

I²PANEMA Impact story

23 April 2025

As global trade continues to expand, the pressure on ports to handle increasing cargo volumes efficiently and sustainably is greater than ever. By 2030, European cargo traffic is expected to rise by 50%, but with space limitations, ports must turn to innovation rather than expansion. The I²PANEMA project stepped in to address these challenges by integrating smart Internet of Things (IoT) solutions into port operations. Within I²PANEMA, German SME NautilusLog led efforts to develop ISO 4891, a new global standard for smart applications for ships.

PIANiSM

PIANiSM Impact story

04 October 2024

Predictive maintenance (PdM), using data-driven, proactive maintenance techniques designed to analyse the condition of equipment and helping to predict when maintenance should be performed, offers benefits across many fields, from manufacturing to mining to automotive. However, most of these solutions are domain or problem-specific, with implementation costs and complexity serving as obstacles to uptake. PIANiSM aimed to merge predictive and prescriptive maintenance techniques to achieve an end-to-end automated manufacturing process and optimise end-to-end manufacturing value chains.

SPEAR

SPEAR Impact story

01 November 2022

By helping companies to optimise their energy usage, SPEAR enables them to manage resources more effectively, to reduce their energy consumption and costs significantly and increase their productivity in a sustainable manner. To achieve this, SPEAR uses real device-provided simulation models to produce highly accurate forecasts for the energy consumption of industrial production processes, developed optimisation algorithms and created a flexible and highly generic optimisation platform.
