Dear green community! I congratulate you (and myself) on the completion of the call for the fourth and final wave of the Climate Innovation Vouchers grant project!

These four waves were a real adventure with all the challenges, achievements, awards, and gratitude. There were also unfulfilled projects because a full-scale war broke out. But even in the most difficult times, you remained inspiring! You inspire with your work. You inspire with resilience. You inspire with your ideas. And this is the main reason to look for new opportunities for you and me.

Because despite the war, we are invincible. Our resilience, motivation, and thirst to move forward on our native land give us strength. Thank you for that!

And no, I'm not saying goodbye. We keep hitting this rock together!
In the meantime, I'm sharing with you the wonderful results of this final wave of recruitment:
- 158 registered applicants;
- 51 applications submitted (finalized and accepted for consideration);
- 38 new service providers;
- 7 consultations for 253 participants;
- 3 online presentations for more than 260 participants.

What's next? We are now conducting the first stage of the assessment - qualification selection.
The project team analyzes applications based on basic criteria: companies must implement or develop climate-friendly technologies, be registered in Ukraine, have been operating for at least 1 year, and belong to small or medium-sized businesses.

There is still a lot of work to be done! We will notify all participants whose applications will be accepted for the second stage - evaluation by experts.
