The selection process for the incubator turned out to be difficult and extremely interesting, we received 238 applications from young social enterprises and, thanks to the expertise of the selection committee, identified 24 teams that will work on their social enterprise models together with a team of leading experts from the StartUp4Good online incubator.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the Ukrainian Social Venture Fund, SILab Ukraine, and with the support of our partner Western NIS Enterprise Fund, we will be able to help these innovative projects to promote the creation of new micro and small businesses, as well as employment and social services for veterans, internally displaced persons, and other vulnerable groups.
