a) R&D b) Entrepreneurship c) All

R&D has always been controversial since the invention of the wheel. In simple terms, research and development are trials to be made for a product or service to be released to the market. In other words, if the product has been determined, the market has been formed, sales channels have been prepared, and the job has come to the point where the product is presented to the market in a better, higher quality, more cost-effective, more competitive way, R&D comes into play.

As a word meaning, R&D is the new applications of existing knowledge by improving it in a systematic way. Research constitutes the first stage of the concept of R&D and covers all the development and review processes before implementation. The phase of realizing the findings we will obtain as a result of the research is applied research. After these two stages, we develop our product with experimental development and try this development and make it ready before market launch.

R&D, to which commercial enterprises, factories and companies, as well as countries and governments attach great importance, has also been supported in our country in recent years.

While our Ministry of Industry, especially TÜBİTAK, other ministries, non-governmental organizations such as the Technology Foundation, encourages R&D through competitions, they provide R&D to companies beyond incentives by giving project supports.

While R&D seems to be the most important step of progress, entrepreneurship is more important than R&D.

In order to do R&D, there must be a product and a business. In order to become a business, individuals need to take action at the point of entrepreneurship. Since R&D of a non-existent company or a non-existent product cannot be done, first entrepreneurship and then R&D.

In fact, the venture-R&D relationship, which is like meat and nails, sometimes evokes the concept of chicken or egg or chicken.
