The Tofaş R&D Center works with stakeholders from many different sectors in the collaborative development of products, processes, and technologies. The center generates innovative solutions and achieves efficiency through the advanced research projects that it conducts. Tofaş leverages funding and support opportunities provided by the European Union and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) to develop high-value, innovative, and sustainable projects. Tofaş R&D has a proven track record in EU Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, and Eureka programs, participating in 46 projects to date. Having successfully completed 24 initiatives, the center saw three new projects approved in 2025, bringing the current number of active projects to 22. These initiatives have enabled Tofaş to build a global network of more than 500 academic and industrial partners. The company is currently working on eight national projects backed by TÜBİTAK in the areas of AI, advanced materials, electric mobility, and sustainability.

One of the prerequisites for Türkiye's international recognition as a product development center to increase and develop is to consider all elements of the R&D value chain together. Tofaş attaches special importance to joint design development, organization of local engineering companies and cooperation with universities. Undertaking university industry collaboration projects in parallel with its technology development operations, Tofaş R&D collaborated with 70 different universities on 350 projects in the last twenty years. The Tofaş R&D Center has secured 3rd place among major R&D centers for having the highest number of approved projects and receiving the most significant incentives.



Tofaş R&D Center collaborates with many national and international R&D centers and research institutes.
