The third pitch took place - an oral presentation of business plans - by participants in an initiative aimed at improving the socio-economic integration of internally displaced women.
Participants who currently live in the Myrhorod, Poltava, Kremenchuk, and Valkiv communities presented their ideas to the competition committee.
"Your support is not just financial assistance, it is faith in us, women, in our strengths and capabilities. My participation in the project has been an extremely valuable experience. I received knowledge, advice, and became a winner, and now I have the opportunity to purchase equipment that is critical to our business. And also recommendations from cool specialists and incredible participants, whom I was lucky enough to meet," participant Olena shared her impressions.
Based on the results of three pitching sessions, forty women will receive financial support in the form of equipment. This way, they will be able to start their own businesses in the communities where they moved due to the war, or scale their existing businesses.
