Type: Grant
Location: Ukraine

This is an opportunity to receive EUR 5,000 to develop or restore a business badly affected by the war.

You can move production to a safer city, buy equipment to replace what Russia destroyed or cover the business's operating costs. You'll have two months to spend the money and report back.

Grants are managed by EU4Business with funding from the European Union and the German government. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.

Good to know
  • The programme is not for businesses related to agriculture, forestry and fisheries, computer programming and consulting.
  • EU4Business focuses on businesses that need support the most. Preference will be given to enterprises that were most affected by the war, lost a large share of annual income or employed veterans and people with disabilities.
