The digital lab will bring together 25 social entrepreneurs from all over Ukraine to find new instruments to effectively manage and advance their businesses.

Hop onto the programme: it is more fun and more effective to work in good company.

What do I get?
  • Knowledge needed to stand out, wrap your ideas and communicate your worth to users, persuade investors to support you, and stay calm when dealing with all the legal issues each social entrepreneur faces
  • Hands-on tools that will help you structure your work: a matrix for assessing the competitiveness, marketing strategy, communications plan, etc. 
  • Methodologies, case studies and personal advice from speakers from the EU, the UK and Ukraine 
  • A community of kindred spirits from all over Ukraine who understand your challenges and are ready to brainstorm the solutions for them 
  • Ukrainian interpreter for you to communicate with international experts 
  • Four online sessions consisting of keynotes from speakers, real case studies and brainstorming of new effective solutions
  • Practical brief homework for some of the sessions
  • Access to the House of Europe alumni community offering new contacts, communication and even more opportunities and grants
