Support for Ukrainian SMEs
Opens: 12 August 2025
Closes: 26 November 2025
As part of ongoing efforts to reinforce Ukraine’s innovation capacity amid Russia’s military invasion, the European Innovation Council (EIC) has announced to make €20 million of funding available for Ukrainian deep-tech start-ups and SMEs. The initiative aims to accelerate the development of transformative technologies and integrate Ukrainian innovators more deeply into European markets.
the EIC addresses that gap by focusing on high-impact deep-tech innovations in sectors such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, cybersecurity and other priority areas for Ukraine. Eligible companies can apply for grants of up to €500 000 to develop their technologies to move to market deployment (from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 to TRL 6–7). Around 40 projects are expected to receive funding. There will be a special emphasis on women-led enterprises to promote inclusivity in Ukraine’s tech landscape.
The call opens on 12 August and the deadline for applications will be on 26 November 2025.
