Supported Projects and Areas of Activity
Since 2017, over €2 million has been allocated through the innovation voucher mechanism for the development of climate-friendly technologies in Ukraine. This year, grants have been awarded to the following companies:
- Ma’Rijany Hemp Company – engaged in the cultivation and processing of industrial hemp.
- “Striy Auto” – a manufacturer of electric vehicles and specialized full-cycle platforms.
- IPT Production – develops eco-friendly additives for road construction.
- R.Flo – creates batteries for long-term energy storage without the use of critical raw materials.
- “EnergoDesign” – produces modular water heating and steam boilers powered by biomass for heating supply systems.
- “Hydrogen of Ukraine” – works on projects related to the production and use of “green” hydrogen.
Conditions for Receiving Grants
Each voucher is intended to address the most critical needs of companies on their way to market: from patenting to certification and industrial design. The amount of a single grant can reach up to €50,000 and cover up to 75% of the cost of necessary services. This approach facilitates the acceleration of technology transition to the stage of serial production and their entry into export markets.
Vouchers address critical “gaps” on the path to market: from patenting to certifications and industrial design.
