Bayer G4A 2025: Wrapping Up the Inspiring Journey of Our 8th Batch

On August 1st, 2025, we concluded the 8th edition of the Bayer G4A Startup Acceleration Program in Turkey.

But G4A is not just a startup accelerator, it’s a platform where visionary entrepreneurs, Bayer experts, and the broader innovation ecosystem come together to create real-world impact. Within Turkey’s dynamic startup landscape, G4A has become a key accelerator of transformative digital health and agri-tech solutions since its inception in 2018.

This year, the selection process was highly competitive, more than 300 startups from across the country applied, each striving to bring forward innovative solutions in digital health and agriculture. Only five were selected, proving that their projects were both scalable and aligned with G4A’s high-impact vision.
