FINEXT Acceleration Program

FINEXT Acceleration Program

The FINEXT Acceleration Program, carried out by Dijitalpark Teknokent, one of Türkiye’s leading technology development zones, is a comprehensive acceleration program that brings together startups developing innovative solutions in financial technologies with investors, representatives of the financial sector, technology stakeholders, and international ecosystem actors.

The program is designed for startups that have completed their company formation process, developed a product or service in the field of financial technologies, and aim to scale their sales-ready solutions. It offers a 14-week training and mentorship structure that supports startups in strengthening their business models, validating their products, and preparing for investor and corporate collaboration processes.

One of the key highlights of FINEXT is the Open PoC – Proof of Concept model, implemented in Türkiye for the first time. Through this model, startups have the opportunity to test their solutions in real-life scenarios and position their products more strongly in the eyes of investors and corporate stakeholders.

At the end of the program, award-winning startups are provided with the opportunity to benefit from a free incubation space for one year. This support aims to contribute to the growth and commercialization journey of startups not only during the program but also after its completion.

Entrepreneurs who complete the FINEXT Program gain the opportunity to bring their products to market and connect with potential customers, investors, and business partners by benefiting from Dijitalpark Teknokent’s strong networking ecosystem.

Conducted entirely in English, FINEXT continues to build a stronger ecosystem every year with its international participant structure. The program brings together fintech startups from different regions, primarily Türkiye, the Balkans, and the UAE, and continues to strengthen Dijitalpark Teknokent’s international entrepreneurship network.
