Ukrainians, including veterans and their relatives, have the opportunity to get a grant worth 6,500 euros for their own business development. The program is funded by the European Union and organized with the support of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in cooperation with the Ministry of Veterans and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Startup Ukraine.
Business Support Program is focused on:
-
Veterans and veterans, as well as their close relatives who already have their own business, which operates at least 6 months.
-
Businesses that have officially employed veterans, with the activity of the enterprise should be concentrated in the Kiev, Lviv or Vinnytsia regions of Ukraine.
It is important that the program supports only businesses operating in these three regions, that is, entrepreneurs located in other areas cannot claim a grant.
The program includes several important stages, including:
-
Offline training: Program participants will be able to go through a three-day business training that will take place in Kiev, Lviv or Vinnitsa. These trainings will help improve business skills.
-
Mentor support: after training, participants will receive two months of individual consulting support from experienced entrepreneurs and business consultants.
-
Grant: 45 finalists who will successfully protect their business plans will receive a grant of 6,500 euros. This financial resource will be aimed at maintaining business development.
-
Psychological support: program participants will also receive psychological assistance to help adapt to civilian life and strengthen the internal resistance for doing business in new conditions.
-
Business promotion: The history of program participants will be covered in an online media within the national information campaign. This will help draw attention to veteran businesses and increase their popularity.
Applications for participation in the program can be submitted by May 26, 2025. To do this, fill out the application on the official website of the program and submit all the necessary documents. The program is limited to 100 participants, so it is important to apply in a timely manner.
