Grants and Public Funding for Business
Grants and public funding are among the most viable tools for business development in Ukraine today. The Innovation Development Fund (USF) alone — a state institution managed by the Ministry of Digital Transformation — has awarded over 250 grants totaling €10+ million under the Seeds of Bravery program, finances defense-tech projects through Brave1 (over UAH 900 million), and the EBRD invested a record €2.9 billion in Ukraine in 2025. Concurrently, dozens of programs from the EU, USAID, Horizon Europe, and domestic institutions are actively available.
However, a grant is not just about funding. It involves a contract, a budget, dedicated allocation of funds, financial reporting, and legal liability. Errors in application drafting, an improperly structured contract, or non-compliance with the designated use of funds can result in a denial of funding or a clawback obligation to repay the funds. Legal support at all stages — from program selection to grant closure — is an investment that safeguards the entire project.
I provide comprehensive legal support for securing grants and public funding: company eligibility and compliance analysis, application drafting and review, legal structuring of grant agreements, monitoring the dedicated use of funds, and reporting preparation. I also provide legal defense in the event of disputes with grantors or regulatory authorities.
