Companies fund directed research; the core platform stays with Waka Lab and each partner holds exclusivity in its own sector. The contract-research model behind institutes like Fraunhofer and imec — applied to AI operating systems.
One research core, instantiated per sector. Three axes:
Same operating system, three industrial instantiations:
Three steps, written before the first line of code:
Eligibility for TÜBİTAK support programmes and Teknopark tax incentives depends on formalisation of Waka's Türkiye entity and Teknopark registration, and is confirmed case by case with the partner's own financial advisers. Partner data remains in Türkiye.
