Business Support: REDpreneurUA Brings Participants Together with Experts from the Made in Ukraine Office

On 29 July 2025, an online meeting took place between participants of the first and third cohorts of the REDpreneurUA programme and representatives from the Made in Ukraine office — Olena Zakharchenko, coordinator of the Made in Ukraine offices, and Daryna Idiatullina, consultant at the Made in Ukraine office of the State Employment Service of Ukraine.

Made in Ukraine offices form a network of modern business support centres where anyone can receive free advice on developing their own business, learn about available government business support schemes and grant opportunities, and prepare to submit applications.

While specialists do not write business plans for applicants, they assist in structuring ideas correctly, checking documents for common mistakes, and advising on how to prepare for project presentations and personal interviews.

Alongside information on government grant programmes, participants were also informed about support in recruitment, obtaining training certificates, and government compensation for the employment of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The REDpreneurUA programme is implemented by the Ukrainian Red Cross in partnership with the Austrian Red Cross, with support from the Neighbour in Need Foundation (Austria).
