Traiektoriia Launches Its Third Season: UAH 10 Million to Scale Veteran-Owned Businesses

The national educational and grant program Traiektoriia is launching its third season. The program is implemented by the Diia.Business network of entrepreneur support centers with the support of Avrora and other partners.

This season is focused on scaling veteran-owned and veteran-friendly businesses. Participants will have an opportunity to receive funding for development, complete a training program, strengthen their business models, and prepare their companies for cooperation with national retail chains.

The total grant fund for the third season amounts to UAH 10 million. Following the training and competitive selection process, ten businesses will each receive UAH 1 million. The grant funding can be used to expand production, enter new sales markets, prepare for partnerships with national retail chains, and implement individual growth strategies.

During the previous two seasons, Traiektoriia helped veterans, military personnel, and members of their families gain the knowledge and support needed to launch their own businesses. The third season takes the program to the next level by focusing on established companies that are ready to scale.

Veteran-owned businesses are invited to apply if their founders or co-founders are veterans, military personnel, or family members of veterans, service members, fallen defenders, prisoners of war, or missing defenders of Ukraine.

Veteran-friendly businesses may also apply if they officially employ at least one veteran.

For Avrora, supporting the third season of Traiektoriia is an opportunity to contribute to the development of entrepreneurship, the creation of new jobs, and the growth of Ukrainian businesses founded by veterans and their families or committed to employing veterans.

Detailed participation requirements and the application form are available on the official program website via the link.
