Grant Program for Businesses in Novovolynsk Community

The Executive Committee of Novovolynsk City Council announces the acceptance of documents for participation in a competitive selection providing financial assistance and voucher support to business entities. The competition is implemented within Section IV of the Business Support Program in Novovolynsk Urban Hromada for 2026–2028. The primary objective of the initiative is to stimulate local economic activity, preserve and create new jobs, facilitate the adaptation of relocated businesses, and support manufacturing enterprises and veteran business initiatives.

The program provides non-repayable financial assistance and voucher support across three main directions. Task 1 focuses on providing non-repayable financial assistance to relocated enterprises for their integration into the community's economic space. Task 2 covers business voucher support across several categories: marketing vouchers, implementation of energy-saving measures, product certification, development of veteran entrepreneurship, as well as the purchase of seedlings and saplings.
