Turkiye Gaming & IT Ecosystem — 2020–2025 Trends
The graph below shows the trend of export revenues and state support between 2020 and 2025. The dollar amounts for each year are labeled on the state support (blue) line.
The mobile gaming and IT sectors stand as the new generation export engines of the Turkish economy. The incentive programs provided by the T.R. Ministry of Trade act as a crucial financial leverage directly supporting the sector’s global scaling goals.
These incentives minimize high-cost risks such as overseas marketing, employment, software license acquisition, and opening foreign offices, thereby increasing the competitiveness of IT companies.
The data obtained clearly indicates a positive correlation between the public support provided and the sector’s export revenues. This mechanism not only secures financial aid but also acts as a strategic tool, strengthening Türkiye’s international credibility and capabilities in the IT sector.
Where PROTESVİK comes in
PROTESVİK makes it possible for international IT companies, especially those in the mobile gaming sector, to benefit from state support if they open offices in Turkiye.
Companies wishing to benefit from these incentives, which total over 4 million dollars annually, can contact PROTESVİK, and the necessary professional support will be provided. Some of the incentives available to gaming and IT companies established in Turkiye for 2025 are listed in the table below.
