Veteran Business Grants in Ukraine 2026: The Complete Guide

Veteran business grants in Ukraine are not one programme in 2026 but at least five different types of grant provider, with rules that do not translate between them.

FOR WHOM

IndividualsSMEs / BusinessStartups

Calls for veterans and their families: the state business grant via Diia with a veteran-entrepreneurship bonus, education-and-grant programmes from banks and international organisations, rehabilitation and community projects for veteran NGOs. Built from the GetGrant catalogue, open calls only.

Veteran status is confirmed by a combatant certificate or similar document; “veteran entrepreneurship” means a veteran sole proprietor or a company fully founded by veterans. Most programmes combine training with the grant, so applications often start with a course. Applications go to the funder’s site, linked from each card.
