Ukrainian defense enterprises are eligible to receive up to ₴2M in grant funds for new military projects.

Ukrainian military equipment and defense system developers can now apply for grants of ₴500,000, ₴1M, or even ₴2M to implement their initiatives.

To receive ₴500,000 grant, the project must score at least four points on its overall assessment and technological readiness level. To receive a grant of ₴1M, the overall assessment of the project must be at least four points, and technological readiness – five points. In the case of a request for ₴2M, the project must receive an assessment of at least five points according to both criteria.
