Doing business
The programme will support Ukrainian companies in their integration into the Single Market until October 2025. The programme budget is EUR 3.75 million combined with access to additional services (e.g. EEN, ECCP, EYE, platforms, initiatives). The program is implemented on the basis of grant agreement No. 101139573
The programme aims to encourage and assist Ukrainian SMEs to become active in the EU Single Market and successfully cooperate with EU business partners.
As part of the project, 1 500 eligible Ukrainian SMEs wishing to enter the EU Single Market will be able to receive vouchers worth €2,500.
Ukrainian SMEs and start-ups that meet the following criteria are invited to apply:
Eligible activities are travel to and active participation in international fairs, other events or meetings in the EU, especially in events organized by members of the Cluster Alliance, the European Cluster Cooperation Platform or the Enterprise Europe Network.
“Active participation” means that the Ukrainian SME either actively presents its company, its products, and/or its services to the audience, or it has meetings with potential business partners based in the EU member state (minimum one). Only active participations which can be documented and proved independently, e.g. by official documents of the organizer of the event, are eligible.
Applications for participation in the programme are accepted until 30 June 2025 and will be evaluated by the European Commission at the end of this month.
The organisers of the UkraineReady4EU project have the right to stop accepting application forms before the official closing of the project. Such a decision is possible if the European Commission approves an exhaustive number of applications from SMEs for financial support provided under the Project — EUR 3.75 million in combination with access to additional services (e.g. EEN, ECCP, EYE, platforms, initiatives). The Programme is implemented under the Grant Agreement No. 101139573.
