Ukraine is launching an educational and grant program called "Pochatok" for women entrepreneurs. Learn more about free training and the amount of grants offered to Ukrainian women starting out in business
As it has become known, the majority of new individual entrepreneurs (IEs) registered in Ukraine in 2023 are women. Thus, since the beginning of this year, women in Ukraine have founded 154 thousand new sole proprietorships and have been appointed as heads of more than 10 thousand new companies. Therefore, the government is now trying to support women who are starting out in business as much as possible.
According to the press service of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Ukraine is launching a new educational and grant program for women entrepreneurs called Start. We will tell you more about it and what grants Ukrainian women can receive in the article below.
