Ukrainian entrepreneurs prepare to present their business ideas at the CraftUP Ukraine final
On September 15, 2026, an important event for small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine will take place. Finalists of the educational and grant project CraftUP Ukraine will gather to present their unique business ideas to an expert council.
This project was created to support craft producers and help them develop their businesses in difficult economic conditions. Over the course of several months, program participants underwent training, refined their strategies, and worked on business plans under the guidance of experienced mentors.
The main goal of the event is not only to present the projects but also to compete for grant support. The project's total fund is one million hryvnias, which will be distributed among the winners to develop their production, purchase equipment, or scale their businesses.
The expert council will evaluate participants based on several criteria: the innovation of the idea, the social significance of the project, and the feasibility of the financial plan. For many entrepreneurs, this grant will be a chance to take their product to a new level and strengthen their position in the Ukrainian market.
It is expected that the results of the presentations will be announced shortly after the event concludes. The success of the CraftUP Ukraine participants demonstrates that, despite all the challenges, Ukrainian business continues to develop, create new jobs, and support the country's economy.
