Verification note
The previously recorded application URL (bigg.odtuteknokent.com.tr/tr/bigg-impact.html) returns a 404 error. The NATO DIANA ODTU page confirms BiGG Impact exists as a distinct three-way consortium (ODTU Teknokent + Impact Hub Istanbul + ReDis Innovation) focused on clean tech and industry 4.0/5.0 impact ideas. No active open call or current intake dates were found on any official source. The ODTU BIGG main 2026-1 call (U4Venture consortium) intake closed in March 2026. It is unclear whether BiGG Impact ran its own separate intake in 2026-1 or is subsumed under the U4Venture consortium. Contact bigg@odtuteknokent.com.tr to verify. ApplicationUrl updated to base portal.
