We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 3rd edition of the Polish-Ukrainian Startup Bridge! The Polish-Ukrainian Startup Bridge, an initiative in partnership with Cooperation Fund Foundation, proudly announces the launch of a new acceleration program designed to support Ukrainian startups and technological companies.
In the upcoming edition, projects from industries essential to Ukraine’s growth and recovery will receive monetary and in-kind support from a consortium of CEE Startup Bridge Foundation and CEE Startup Bridge Foundation. By fostering innovation and encouraging technological advancements in these critical areas, consortium partners aim to drive sustainable progress, strengthen resilience, and ensure long-term stability for Ukrainian communities.
