Government grants in Ukraine: how to get financial support in 2026
In 2026, government grants in Ukraine are a practical tool for financing business, agriculture, manufacturing, employment, and culture. The state supports business startups (up to UAH 2,5 million), agricultural projects (greenhouses, orchards, storage facilities — over UAH 7 million), manufacturing (up to UAH 16 million), and offers compensation for hiring internally displaced persons and adapting workplaces. Some programs target veterans and cultural initiatives (up to 100% funding). Grants typically cover equipment, materials, construction, and marketing. However, recipients must create jobs, operate officially, and pay taxes. Applications are submitted via the Diia portal with a business plan, and decisions are usually made within 10–20 working days. The key to success is a clear plan, realistic budget, and full compliance with program requirements.
Brave1: grant support for Ukrainian defense tech
Brave1 is one of Ukraine’s largest government platforms supporting defense innovation, helping developers create and scale technologies for the security and defense sector. Through grant programs and competitions, it funds projects in the fields of unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, robotics, missile technology, electronic warfare, and other areas of defense technology. Developers can receive grants of up to 8 million UAH, expert support, access to testing, and the opportunity to implement their solutions within the Defense Forces. Special grant programs and competitions with larger funding amounts are available for specific technologies. A separate initiative is the international Brave1 EU4UA Defense Tech program, aimed at developing the production of components for unmanned systems in Ukraine. Brave1 focuses on technologies that meet current defense needs and have the potential for practical application.
New terms of the “Own Business” program in 2026: what has changed for businesses
In 2026, the “Own Business” grant program will undergo a major update aimed at supporting both business start-ups and the expansion of existing companies in Ukraine. The program will introduce separate support tracks for launching a business and scaling operations, while the maximum amount of grant funding will increase to UAH 2.5 million . The updated model will also introduce a bonus system. Additional funding opportunities will be available for young entrepreneurs, veteran-owned and relocated businesses, internally displaced persons (IDPs), as well as companies operating in frontline regions or implementing projects in priority sectors of the economy. Grant funding may be used for purchasing equipment, renovating premises, expanding production, digitalization, and marketing. Applications will be submitted through the Diia portal based on a business plan and an assessment of the project’s economic potential. The updated program is expected to make state support more flexible, accessible, and focused on the long-term development and resilience of Ukrainian businesses.
From Idea to Funding: What Types of Grants Exist and How to Choose the Right One
Most people think of grants as something complicated, bureaucratic, and almost unattainable. But in reality, the problem isn’t the grants themselves — it’s that there are so many of them, and they all work differently. One grant is designed to create jobs. Another — to test an innovation. A third — to solve a social problem in a community. And when someone applies “just anywhere” without understanding this logic, rejection is almost inevitable. 👉 Grants are about the donor’s goals.

UNGM: how businesses can integrate into international procurement?

Common mistakes when applying for a grant: how to save time, nerves, and reputation
Submitting a grant application is not a matter of chance. For donors, it is a decision-making tool, and for organizations, it is a way to demonstrate their maturity, strategic thinking, and ability to deliver results. Many applications are rejected because they fail to answer the key question: why should this particular project, at this particular time, and with this particular team, be funded?
