Applications have opened for a competition to obtain vouchers for the support and development of businesses aimed at veterans, combatants and members of their families. Applications will be accepted until 15 July 2026 inclusive.
The organisers note that the pool of participants has been expanded. The following are eligible to apply:
- legal entities in which 100% of members are combatants or veterans;
- sole traders who are veterans, combatants or persons with disabilities as a result of the war;
- family members of combatants, persons with disabilities as a result of the war, and family members of fallen or missing Defenders of Ukraine of any gender: spouses, parents, adult children, dependants.
The participation procedure involves several stages: submission of the document package for the competition; consideration and evaluation of the business project by an expert commission; receipt of a voucher for business development or participation in international exhibitions; carrying out works or providing services in accordance with commercial offers (approximately up to two months, and up to three months for participation in exhibitions); submission of a report to the relevant department; and subsequent reimbursement of the voucher costs.
The organisers emphasise that they are ready to support competition participants and, if necessary, assist at every stage of project preparation and implementation.
