HIT-AI is one of four sector-specific "çağrı" (calls for applications) opened under the HIT-30 umbrella programme in October 2025 — alongside HIT-Data Centre (USD 1.5bn), HIT-Quantum (USD 300m) and HIT-Industrial Robot (USD 1bn). Each call operationalises a slice of HIT-30's original USD 30bn 2024-2030 envelope against sector-specific eligibility criteria rather than opening the programme's tax/grant/financing toolkit generically.
Eligibility for HIT-AI covers: large-scale IT investments providing AI services, managed and self-service cloud-service investments, and standalone AI investments of at least USD 100 million. The instrument stack mirrors the HIT-30 seven-heading toolkit — corporate-tax reduction (up to 60%), capex grant (up to 40%, plus up to a further 20% specifically for AI-hardware purchases), concessional/profit-sharing financing (up to 70% of eligible investment), employment support, and market-development support (up to 20%). The parallel HIT-Data Centre call requires facilities of at least 30 MW IT capacity, ≥50% AI-compatible hardware, and a PUE ≤ 1.4 — signalling the programme is explicitly sizing for hyperscale/AI-training-class facilities rather than general-purpose colocation.
GTA logs this single government call as three separate "interventions" (financial grant, state loan, tax/social-insurance relief) because its instrument stack spans multiple GTA intervention-type categories — they are one underlying state action, not three.
original HIT-30 filing already listed data-centres among its 37 priority programmes; HIT-AI/HIT-Data Centre convert that generic inclusion into a concrete, ring-fenced USD 3.1bn (AI + data centre) tranche with named eligibility thresholds — the same pattern used for HIT-30's battery and solar-cell sub-programmes.
inside the EU customs-union perimeter but outside EU State Aid disciplines, competing for the same hyperscaler/sovereign-AI capex Poland, Spain, and Gulf states are also chasing with dedicated data-centre incentive regimes.
combined with the Data Centre call) is a meaningful but sub-battery-scale slice of the USD 30bn HIT-30 envelope (~10% combined); rated below the parent HIT-30 filing (severity 4) because this is an implementing tranche, not new incremental headline commitment, and the USD 100m/30MW eligibility floors concentrate support on a small number of hyperscale-class applicants.
own hit30.sanayi.gov.tr/cagrilar page lists the HIT-AI call but does not surface a gazette/decree number; confirm via a future amendment if the formal legal instrument is published separately.
which applicants/projects have been approved under HIT-AI has been identified; watch for disclosures once the call closes.
