Gazi TTO - Gazi Üniversitesi Teknoloji Transfer Ofisi

What Gazi TTO - Gazi Üniversitesi Teknoloji Transfer Ofisi does

Gazi Üniversitesi Teknoloji Transfer Ofisi A.Ş. (Gazi TTO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gazi University, a Turkish state university founded in 1923, operating as the official technology transfer interface between the university's research base and Turkish industry. Established in 2013 under TÜBİTAK's 1513 Technology Transfer Offices Support Program and reorganized under its current name in November 2021 following amendments to the Higher Education Law, the entity is structured as an Anonim Şirket (joint-stock company) with 7 staff based across two offices in Ankara (Yenimahalle headquarters and a Gölbaşı Teknopark liaison office). The office holds TÜBİTAK 5-year full accreditation and ISO 9001:2015 certification.

The company's core service portfolio centers on five lines: intellectual property management and licensing (including the Patent Havuzu / Patent Pool system), R&D and grant project development consulting (notably under TÜBİTAK TEYDEB programs), university-industry collaboration facilitation, green transformation and sustainability advisory (ISO 14064-1, ISO 14067, LCA, ISO 14046, CDP, GRI), and entrepreneurship support via the annual G³ Business Idea Competition and pre-incubation services. Underlying technology consists of standardized business-process-management workflows for project, IP, and collaboration management rather than proprietary software products.

Gazi TTO generates revenue through a combination of TÜBİTAK program grants (managed-services style under programs 1513, 1601, 1831), fee-based consulting for corporate clients seeking R&D Center recognition and green transformation compliance, and ecosystem-building services; pricing is not publicly disclosed and corporate customers are accessed primarily through partner channels ASO, Başkent OSB, and Gazi Teknopark. Primary customer segments are Gazi University researchers and students (captive), Turkish industrial SMEs (particularly exporters facing EU CBAM compliance), and clean-technology startups graduating from programs like the TÜBİTAK 1601 Global Clean Technologies Entrepreneurship Program.

Direct peers

• Boğaziçi TTO (Boğaziçi University Technology Transfer Office): Boğaziçi University's TTO, also a TÜBİTAK 1513 program participant. Competes in IP commercialization, R&D project support, and entrepreneurship services targeting industry clients seeking university partnerships.
• İTÜ ARI Teknokent: Istanbul Technical University's combined technology park and TTO. Offers parallel services (R&D consulting, IP commercialization, incubation) with a larger Istanbul-based industrial customer base, making it a structurally similar peer competing for the same corporate clients.
• Hacettepe TTO: Hacettepe University's technology transfer office, also under the TÜBİTAK 1513 program, with overlapping IP, R&D, and university-industry collaboration services. Directly comparable mandate and service portfolio within the same national TTO program.
• Yıldız TTO (Yıldız Technical University Technology Transfer Office): Yıldız Technical University's TTO, also a TÜBİTAK 1513 participant in Istanbul. Comparable service mandate spanning R&D consulting, IP management, and entrepreneurship support for university-industry collaboration.
• Erciyes Teknopark TTO: Erciyes University's TTO operating under the same TÜBİTAK 1513 framework in Kayseri. Comparable scope of IP management, university-industry collaboration, and incubation services, but with a Central Anatolia industrial focus overlapping Gazi TTO's geography.
• ODTÜ TTO (Middle East Technical University Technology Transfer Office): Turkey's most established university TTO, also operating under TÜBİTAK 1513. Provides IP management, university-industry collaboration, and entrepreneurship support across a much larger research base, making it the closest direct competitor in the same national TTO ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• TÜBİTAK TEYDEB: Turkey's national R&D funding agency. While not a direct TTO competitor, TEYDEB funds and shapes the ecosystem in which Gazi TTO operates, and Gazi TTO is a solution partner for several TEYDEB programs, making TEYDEB both a partner and the broader incumbent setting policy and funding.
• AUTM (Association of University Technology Managers): US-based industry association for university technology transfer professionals. While not a service competitor, AUTM provides benchmarking, training, and best-practice frameworks that shape the operating model of university TTOs globally, including Turkish peers.

Others

• Gazi Teknopark: Gazi University's affiliated technology park providing incubation and office space. Operates as an ecosystem partner rather than a competitor, sharing infrastructure and tenant pipelines with Gazi TTO.

Regional players

• Ege Üniversitesi EBİT (Ege University Technology Transfer Office): Ege University's TTO operating under the same TÜBİTAK 1513 framework in Izmir. Directly comparable services (IP, R&D consulting, entrepreneurship) but in the Aegean region, offering regional competition rather than overlapping territory.
