KOSGEB, which was established with the law numbered 3624 in 1990, provided services and supports only for the production industry SMEs until 2009. However, due to the increase in the added value production and employment creation potentials of the sectors other than the production sector in their country and due to the requests received from SMEs in the sectors other than the production sector, the necessity to enlarge the target population of KOSGEB so as to cover all SMEs.

In line with this, the “Law numbered 5891 on Amending the KOSGEB Establishment Law numbered 3624” was published in the Official Gazette dated May 5th 2009 and numbered 27219. The law amendment provided the necessary legal grounds for KOSGEB to support SMEs other than the ones in the production industry sectors. The Cabinet Decree numbered 15431 on the “Determination of Sector and Regional Priorities of Small and Medium Enterprises that will Benefit from the Services and Supports to be Provided by KOSGEB” was published in the Official Journal dated September 18th 2009 and numbered 27353, and with this decree, the sector and regional priorities related with the enterprises that will benefit from the services and supports to be provided by KOSGEB were determined.
