Public funding for your work in Ukraine

What Fundwiser does

Fundwiser helps European companies win EU grants. Their team runs the whole application process – eligibility check, instrument selection, proposal writing, building the consortium, and getting it submitted on time. They've done it across defence, dual-use tech, energy, transport, climate tech, and critical infrastructure.

For Defence Ukraine partners, they focus on the instruments that actually match Ukraine work: EU defence and dual-use programmes, the reconstruction and resilience funds, bilateral money from Nordic and EU member states, and the development banks that lend in Ukraine.

Who this is for

This is for European companies that already have a real reason to be in Ukraine – a pilot running, a customer asking for a quote, a manufacturing partner lined up, or a product that genuinely fits what Ukrainian operators need – and need non-dilutive money to take the next step. The clearest fits:

  • Defence and dual-use companies running pilots with Ukrainian end users
  • Resilience, shelter, and critical-infrastructure providers working on Ukraine's reconstruction
  • Contract manufacturers building dual-use production capacity for Ukrainian clients (or in Ukraine)
  • Scale-ups co-funding Ukrainian deployments alongside our Tech Pilot, Market Access, or Funding Access programmes

Not sure if you fit? The first call is the fastest way to find out. Fundwiser will be honest with you – if there's nothing in the current EU landscape that matches your situation, they'll say so. And if EU money isn't the right route, we can point you at other paths through our Funding Access programme.
