Government launches Ukrainian Startup Fund

The government has launched the Startup and Innovation Fund that will be aimed at supporting and developing innovations in Ukraine.

Finance Minister Oksana Markarova stated this in a speech during the official launch of the fund, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"Austria, Poland, and Sweden - all of them have innovation agencies that provide grants for startups. We are launching our own fund today," Markarova said.

She noted that the fund will include the supervisory board consisting of seven members and the competition committee consisting of the same number of members.
