Free Business Acceleration Program for 20 Agricultural Processing Enterprises

Description

Supported by the USAID AGRO Activity, Soul Partners launched a project to facilitate access for micro, small, and medium agricultural enterprises (MSMEs) to leading technologies, knowledge, and foreign markets. Our common goal is to promote sustainable development and scaling of agro MSMEs. Participants will have the opportunity to complete a free 3-month training program to prepare for attracting financing for development and increasing business investment attractiveness, and receive 6-month technical support—individual consultations and mentoring from Ukrainian experts for attracting investment and expanding the business.

The free training program will run from August 6 to November 6, 2024.

Requirements

Enterprises eligible for the program must meet the following criteria:

Micro, small, and medium agricultural processing enterprises registered and operating in Ukraine for at least 1 year;
Businesses that have a product or service already sold on the Ukrainian market or exported;
Enterprises owned or managed by women, war veterans and their families, people with disabilities, internally displaced persons, youth up to 29 years old, or people over 60 years old.

Important

To participate, you need to have a team of founders and employees ready to invest time in the successful development of the project, open to mentorship, and interested in developing their company (at least 2 people).
Participation in the project will require 3-4 hours every 2 weeks during the 3-month main program (lectures and work on developing materials and presentations about your company for further attracting financing).
Based on the results of the business acceleration program, the top three teams will be invited to continue participating in the 6-month individual expert support program.
