Interactive Resource Map for Community and Business Development
An interactive map showcasing resources for community and business development is now available on the website of the Ministry of Development. In Ukraine, 14 banks are currently offering more than 60 financing programs for energy projects, providing significant support for local initiatives. This tool is designed to help users easily navigate available funding opportunities across the country.
Bank Participation in Financing
State-owned institutions involved in these financing efforts include:
- Oschadbank
- Privatbank
- Ukrgasbank
- Ukreximbank
- Sense Bank
Commercial banks are also taking part in the program. Available initiatives include Svitlodim, Energodim, and GrinDIM, along with other international support programs. Users can filter financing options by region, applicant type, sector, and application period.
The portfolio of banking programs is continuously expanding, and users have the option to add any missing program using the "Add Opportunity" button. As noted, 'If you see one that suits your community, contact the bank directly for details.' The Ministry encourages communities to share successful fundraising stories or relevant research on financial needs in the comments section.
The launch of this interactive map represents a key step in supporting the growth of local initiatives in Ukraine, as it provides access to a wide range of financial resources. This can stimulate not only energy projects but also broader economic development in communities, helping attract investments and improve residents' quality of life. It is crucial for communities to actively leverage these opportunities and exchange experiences to further refine the program.
