Caritas Ukraine announces the start of registration for participation in the business component of the REMARKET project, aimed at supporting micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. The initiative includes a comprehensive training program, after which participants will have the opportunity to compete for grant funding of up to 237,000 UAH. The funds are intended to support business plans focused on enterprise development and strengthening sustainability.

Funding may be used for key business needs such as upgrading equipment and infrastructure, promoting products and services, improving quality standards, and partially covering costs related to rent or repairs. However, expenses not directly related to business development—such as purchasing real estate, personal expenses, or debt repayment — are not eligible for reimbursement.

The program also offers additional support tools, including mentoring, business networking opportunities, and participation in the "Money for Employment" component, which aims to encourage the creation of new jobs.

Businesses eligible to participate must be registered and operating for at least six months in the designated regions of Ukraine. Priority will be given to enterprises working in the fields of beekeeping, sewing, or baking, with a focus on innovation and sustainable practices. Businesses that combine multiple sectors or offer cross-sector solutions are also encouraged to apply.

Additional preference will be given to initiatives founded or led by women, youth, veterans, elderly people, persons with disabilities, or members of ethnic minorities, as well as to applicants willing to co-finance the implementation of their business plan.

Applications are accepted until August 14, 2025, via the link provided. Submission of documents is carried out through designated registration forms for each region.
