About the Climate Innovation Vouchers project
Grant competition "Climate Innovation Vouchers" (Climate Innovation Vouchers) are part of the program EBRD Climate Change Finance and Technology Transfer Center (FINTECC), which is supported by the EU within the initiative EU4CLIMATE. It has been implemented in Ukraine since 2017 NGO "Greencubator".
The competition supports Ukrainian small and medium-sized businesses that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency and prevent climate change.
Winning companies can use the voucher to develop and implement green innovations at various stages of their business, from intellectual property protection and industrial prototype design to product certification and design of their production facilities. Grants of up to €50,000 cover 75% of the costs of the services claimed.
The vouchers helped create key technologies that are at the heart of many Ukrainian green innovations. Among them. TOKA, GO TO-U, Ecofactor - leaders among operators of electric mobility solutions; S. Lab - is an industrial-scale producer of eco-friendly packaging; Frendt - solutions for precision farming; Releaf Paper - producers of paper from fallen leaves; The Good Plastic Company - innovative design solutions with recycled plastic panels, etc.
Since its launch in 2017, the Climate Innovation Vouchers have become Ukraine's largest grant competition for green innovations: more than fifty Ukrainian companies have received support for more than €2 million. In the final wave of the second phase, 11 more innovators will share about 400 thousand euros to develop climate-friendly technologies.
