Applications are now closing in Ukraine for the EWA GROW 2026 international program
Ukrainian women entrepreneurs have one last chance to apply for the “Empowering Women in Agrifood GROW” (EWA GROW) program.
The registration deadline is set for Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., opening the door to professional mentoring support and significant grant funding.
EWA GROW is a unique international initiative designed specifically for women seeking to implement innovative ideas or develop existing businesses in the agrifood sector.
The program focuses on projects that have been on the market for no more than three years and aims to strengthen the position of women leaders in the agricultural sector.
Over the course of six months, ten selected participants will undergo intensive training, which includes one-on-one work with experienced mentors and specialized online workshops.
In addition to the remote format, offline events will be held in Kyiv to facilitate direct interaction and the exchange of experiences.
Special attention will be given to developing practical entrepreneurial skills, particularly the development of business strategies, marketing campaigns, and detailed financial plans.
Participants will also gain access to networking within the European community of female innovators, EIT Food, opening up opportunities for international scaling.
The program covers a wide range of areas: from sustainable agriculture and biotechnology to the development of alternative proteins and the implementation of artificial intelligence in agricultural solutions.
Women working on the creation of functional foods, waste reduction, or innovative logistics are also invited to apply.
