Participation Conditions and Competition Priorities
Swiss companies operating in Ukraine can participate in the competition by submitting project proposals that are important for the country. The main focus is on strengthening public infrastructure. Grant funding for a single project can range from 3 to 30 million Swiss francs. The selection of ideas will continue until March 8, 2026.
Previous Experience and Results of the First Competition
This second competition builds on the results of the first stage of the Call for Proposals held in 2025, which received significant feedback: about 60 Swiss companies submitted nearly 80 project applications. As a result, Switzerland provided support to the 12 best projects totaling 93 million francs.
The funds were directed towards implementing initiatives in the areas of infrastructure, including energy and housing, public transport, healthcare, and humanitarian demining.
Currently, these projects are in the implementation stage.
