About RENAO


Ré nao is usually translated as “lively” or “bustling”, but its true meaning goes beyond… A place or situation that is ré nao  is not only fun and lively, but also has a special vibe that makes everyone want to be there. A lively, special venue or club may be ré nao, but so might a university class or meeting with friends.

The Renao Consulting LLC (RENAO) was established in Ankara in 2019 to serve as a lively meeting point of plenteous quality experts and friends from different disciplines with career backgrounds of 20+ years to deliver productive outputs in development consultancy and contribute to socio-economic development, particularly in our home country of Turkey.

RENAO specialises in two areas: project development and implementation. Combining academic qualities with decades of field experience, RENAO experts develop and implement projects on behalf of international and national development partners, national authorities, industry representatives and civil society organisations. Although RENAO is new, our development and capacity building project expertise dates back to more than two decades. We offer fail-safe technical solutions to our clients in overcoming complex challenges of the future and introduce change in communities. What makes us unique in the sector lies beneath our motto: “RENAO cares for business and shares”. We only work with experts we know, rely on and attach utmost importance to the quality of our work, satisfaction of our clients, and contentment of our experts with whom we share on fair grounds. Taking up from these principles, RENAO offers quality services mainly in following areas:

  • Project planning, development and implementation
  • Terms of reference, action fiche, action document, technical proposal preparations (TA & Works)
  • Rural, local, regional and national development
  • Institutional capacity building
  • Promotion of cooperatives as a sustainable and synergetic form of business
  • Development of entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship and cooperation

Our Team


We are a dynamic and innovative team mainly composed of experts with backgrounds in economics, finance, law, public and international relations.

As members of the RENAO Team, our individual and corporate experience with UN organisations, the World Bank, the EU Commission, the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) and many other international institutions as consultants for more than twenty years enabled us to learn from the distinct perspectives of these institutions and gain deeper insights on development projects. Such experience also helped us filter and build an enormous pool of quality consulting experts and engineers in various disciplines. Thus, we are quite confident in the projects we develop, design and implement.

Our experts’ main fields of specialisation include socio-economic research, socio-economic development, regional and rural development, institutional capacity building, SME development, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Furthermore, we are highly experienced in investment planning and financing, feasibility studies, cost-benefit analyses, deliver specialised consultancy in developing business models for SMEs, cooperatives and social enterprises. Some of the past assignments of RENAO’s founders and their contributions mark critical milestones for Turkey such as contributing to the drafting and amendment processes of the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 and the Cooperatives Law No. 1163, development of the Turkey Cooperative Strategy and Action Plan announced by the Prime Minister of Turkey in 2011; ex-post, interim and ex-ante evaluation of the EU Programmes participated by Turkey and feasibility analyses of the EU Programmes for the IPA III period from 2021 to 2027.
