For this purpose, a questionnaire was conducted on 246 companies operating in the textile industry in Bursa province. Descriptive statistics, One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test, and non-parametric Spearman’s correlation test were used in analyses in the present study. Given the results achieved in the present study, it was determined that 31.7% of the companies were benefiting from state incentives. While 13.4% of the sample reported that they have high or very high levels of problems while benefiting from state incentives, whereas 33.3% stated that the problems reduced in further experiences and 39.8% stated that state incentives positively affected their export decisions. Of companies, 32.5% emphasized that state incentives were sufficient, 37.4% reported that those incentives were effective, and 26.5% stated that those incentives were allocated fairly and transparently. In comparison to non-exporting ones, the exporting companies rated the services such as training, seminar, consulting, etc. offered by various institutions in order to benefit from state incentives more useful, they stated that state incentives were effective at a higher level, and they were distributed transparently and fairly more. Positive and medium-level relationships were found between the export ratio of companies and the number of activities, to which they attended regarding the state incentives, whereas there were positive and weak relationships between their export ratio and the number of grant and project supports they obtained from various institutions.}, number={19}, publisher={Erzurum Technical University}
