The goal of the “Pre-accelerator in Ukraine – powered by EIT Jumpstarter” is to help Ukranian innovators to turn their ideas and discoveries into successful businesses. EIT Manufacturing will help high-potential early-stage teams to develop their business idea through online training, expert mentoring and subgranting. Also, the best selected teams have the opportunity to win 7,500€ and 5,500€ and 3,500€ monetary prizes and access to the EIT Communities network.

With the contribution of our international community, composed by business experts, research centres and universities, we create a favourable environment for creative thought and innovation to flourish. Graduates of the programme, and as part of the alumni community, will receive further support and dedicated advisory from the EIT Communities regarding the next stage of their start-up journey.

Is it for me?

Are you part of a scientific project team, innovator, scientist, PhD student or master’s student with a product or service idea to disrupt the existing markets on deeptech or industry-related or manufacturing sectors? Do you want to bring your idea out of the lab to the market? Then “Pre-accelerator in Ukraine – powered by EIT Jumpstarter” is ideal for you.

What will you learn?
