We carried out a very detailed analysis of the current status in Elazig, Malatya, Tunceli, and Bingol and on the basis of the results drafted, reviewed, revised and finalised a detailed five-year business plan and a set of comprehensive service manuals for the ISGEM. We held four seminars to promote the Elazig ISGEM and the concept of 3. Generation Incubators in Elazig, Tunceli, Malatya and Bingöl and organised a workshop involving key stakeholders from the region, which resulted in a number of interesting initiatives – three of the most promising received additional inputs from the project and five project proposals were prepared for possible future funding.
