Launch of the Third Cohort of the REDpreneurUA Programme: Supporting and Developing Existing Businesses in Ukraine
On 12 March, the third cohort of the REDpreneurUA programme — an initiative of the Ukrainian Red Cross and the Austrian Red Cross, supported by the Neighbour in Need Foundation (Austria) and in cooperation with the School of ME — will begin. The third cohort of the programme is designed to support micro and small businesses in Ukraine that are looking to scale up and grow.
REDpreneurUA helps entrepreneurs acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, financing, and mentoring support for the sustainable development of their businesses. Special emphasis is placed on accelerating existing businesses, assisting them in adapting to new conditions, finding new markets, and expanding opportunities.
The Programme includes:
- An educational programme in cooperation with the School of ME
- Inspirational sessions to foster entrepreneurial thinking
- Mentoring support during and after completing the programme
- Workshops and masterclasses from leading experts
- Networking and partnership opportunities
- Acceleration support for businesses, with a focus on financial stability and growth

Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities are invited to participate if they:
- Reside in Ukraine
- Are active entrepreneurs
- Strive to develop their business and create a positive social impact
- Belong to one of the vulnerability categories
All businesses participating in the programme must have a social component — contributing to community development, creating jobs, supporting vulnerable groups, or addressing important social issues through their activities.
The best businesses selected for the programme will receive grants of €7,000 to support their development, along with long-term mentoring.
