Within the framework of the cooperation between the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IDIA) and the prestigious US innovation company Plug and Play, the "GOAL" program (soft landing) has been launched, which accelerates the access of high-potential startups to the "Silicon Valley" ecosystem. During the program, startups will acquire skills such as strategic preparation, adaptation, successful competition and investment attraction in order to enter new markets, and will be able to benefit from the mentoring support of leading experts from "Plug and Play" and the networking opportunities of "Silicon Valley".
The program will be held from April 13 to May 26, 2026, and the last two weeks will take place in Silicon Valley, where US technology giants are located. During the program, startups are also expected to participate in the "Silicon Valley Summit" organized by "Plug and Play". This summit, which attracts thousands of participants every year, is one of the largest innovation events in the world and brings together global companies, investors, startups and ecosystem leaders. In addition, startups participating in the program will be selected through a special evaluation and will have the opportunity to present to investors at the summit.
Applications for the program will be open until April 3, 2026. Startups can apply to the program via this link.
