The project strengthens the resilience, digital competencies, and mental well-being of Ukrainian women entrepreneurs, focusing on scaling businesses with a digital output such as websites, platforms, and other web-based solutions.

Project objectives

Through training, mentorship, and networking, the project empowers women entrepreneurs to sustain, scale, and export their businesses, contributing to Ukraine’s economic recovery and strengthening women’s impact and competitiveness in the market. 

Compared to the previous project, the aim is to focus mainly on building and scaling up the businesses that have a digital output - websites, platforms, and other technical outputs on the web, that would help the service or a product reach a wider audience and therefore have a broader overall impact. Also, to engage the target group with a stronger set of digital skills.

Actions and results

Two programs will be implemented that will consist of an initial business design sprint (30-40 female entrepreneurs in each program) and an acceleration program (for 15 most promising businesses). Key focus areas include business development, AI and digital tools, cybersecurity, branding and marketing, leadership, and ESG, with mental well-being themes embedded throughout the program.
