#NEF Grant agreement for the project signed

    Today, Mayor Ruslan Martsinkiv signed a grant contract for a total amount of EUR 1,249,900.00 for the implementation of the project "New Economy of Ivano-Frankivsk - Support for New Innovative Economic Clusters in Ivano-Frankivsk". Within the framework of the "Measures for Economic Growth" programme.

    The project will directly address the issue of adding value to local businesses to help them become more competitive and, as a result, increase wages. The project partners will also explore ways to channel migrant workers' savings into local enterprises, start-ups and small businesses.

    The project's main activities include developing innovation vouchers to support SMEs, assisting in the development of business plans and applications for new product funding, setting up and piloting the SME dashboard tool, developing annual publications of innovation activities, holding a product design hackathon, creating a business angel club, and more.

    The main partner of the project is the executive committee of the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council, and the partners are the "Promprylad.Renovation", the "PPV Knowledge Network", MetaLab, and the "Warm City".
