Amid the war, economic challenges, and the transformation of Ukraine’s agrifood sector, women entrepreneurs require dedicated support to develop their business ideas. To address this, EIT Food, in partnership with Radar Tech, launched a series of mentorship programs for women in agribusiness to help them transform innovative concepts into successful startups and sustainable enterprises.

Over two seasons, the team executed a comprehensive 6-month acceleration program for each cohort. The curriculum combined tailored one-on-one mentorship, practical workshops led by industry-leading speakers, field visits (UNIT.City, MHP, Silpo supermarket), and strategic networking. Each season culminated in a Demo Day, where participants presented their refined business solutions to a panel of judges.

400 applications received across three programs
20 participants selected to join the cohorts
400+ hours of dedicated mentorship delivered
32 practical workshops conducted
29 expert speakers involved in training
4 participants awarded cash prizes (total prize pool of €30,000)
