About the Climate Innovation Vouchers project
The Climate Innovation Vouchers grant program is part of the EBRD’s Finance and Technology Transfer Centre for Climate Change (FINTECC), supported by the EU under the EU4CLIMATE initiative. In Ukraine, it has been implemented since 2017 by NGO Greencubator.
The competition supports Ukrainian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and tackle climate change. Winning companies can use their vouchers for various innovation needs – from IP protection and prototype industrial design to product certification and engineering their production facilities. Grants of up to €50,000 cover 75% of the declared service costs.
In 2024, Climate Innovation Vouchers won the national stage of the European Enterprise Promotion Awards for its contribution to entrepreneurship development in Ukraine and received special recognition at the European level in the “Supporting the Sustainable Transition” category.
The program has helped create key technologies at the core of many Ukrainian green innovations. Among them: TOKA, GO TO-U, Ecofactor (leaders in EV charging solutions), S.Lab (eco-packaging manufacturer), Frendt (precision farming solutions), Releaf Paper (paper made from fallen leaves), The Good Plastic Company (innovative recycled plastic panel design), and others.
Since its launch in 2017, Climate Innovation Vouchers has become the largest green innovation grant program in Ukraine: over 50 companies have received more than €2 million in support. In its final wave, another 11 innovators will share about €400,000 to advance climate-friendly technologies.
