The finale of the Impactpreneurship 3.0 social entrepreneurship course: results of a long journey

Impactpreneurship 3.0 has once again brought together entrepreneurs who not only think big but also act, in spite of all the challenges of today. Their projects are transforming communities and shaping a new face for social entrepreneurship in Ukraine.

The NGO International Agency for Change has now successfully run its social entrepreneurship training on the FUNdraiser platform for the third time. The Impactpreneurship 3.0 project was carried out with the support of the European Union (EU) and the Government of Denmark.

This year, 385 participants from 8 regions of Ukraine took part in the course. They formed 153 teams, went through intensive training and team competitions, and in the finale presented the 15 strongest social business ideas before a professional jury.

Based on the pitches, which took place on 8 July in the columned hall of the Kyiv City State Administration in Kyiv, seven teams won. They will share a grant fund of $84,000 and receive three months of mentorship support.

So, very soon the finalists of the Impactpreneurship 3.0 social entrepreneurship course will begin launching their social businesses in the fields of farming, retail, education, and household and automotive services.

The Impactpreneurship 3.0 social entrepreneurship course was delivered by the NGO International Agency for Change on the FUNdraiser learning platform within the flagship UNDP-EU partnership "EU4Recovery, Empowering Communities in Ukraine," with co-financing from the Government of Denmark.
