The Ukrainian Startup Fund has joined the European Alliance of National Startup Associations (ESNA) — a European initiative aimed at supporting and developing startup ecosystems.
This was announced by the Ministry of Digital Transformation on Telegram.
"The Ukrainian Startup Fund has joined ESNA — a European initiative that brings together countries creating the best conditions for the development of startups. The alliance includes 26 EU countries, Iceland, and Ukraine," the statement said.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation noted that ESNA will support the development of Ukraine's startup ecosystem through the implementation of 8 key standards, ranging from access to funding to innovations in regulatory frameworks.
