Congratulations to the winners – 24 SMEs and Greentechs were awarded grants totaling nearly €1M. The project is part of 'Stand with Ukraine' program aimed at supporting the business continuity of EFSE DF and GGF TAF’s partner institutions and local businesses. The program winners include 17 Ukrainian SMEs with strong potential to generate income, sustain jobs, drive innovation, and contribute to the development of their community. The businesses will leverage the grant support to launch new product lines, modernize, relocate and increase exports. The seven Greentech winners provide innovative solutions to improve the user experience with waste management application, launch a new e-bike model, enable improved efficiency of a renewable energy-focused company, enhance IT security of e-charging stations and more. One such beneficiary is Releaf Paper, producing paper from fallen leaves to minimize carbon footprint. The grant will help the Greentech receive Forest Stewardship Council certification and implement marketing activities, supporting its expansion into the EU market. We are proud to support these impactful winners!
