Really great news for Ukrainian startups! 💪 Up to $100,000 is good support for business development or recovery after hostilities. Wondering what the application requirements are?

I was also interested in this opportunity from Google. We are developing an application with elements of artificial intelligence for safe navigation in an urban environment. This grant could help us implement new features. 🤖

To be honest, I am skeptical of such initiatives from large corporations. Who knows what conditions they will be able to demand later? 🤨 Better to rely on your own strength.
Ольга
Petro, I understand your doubts, but now for many startups it can be a lifesaver. My team and I will submit an application, because our project helps provide citizens with the necessary resources in wartime conditions. 💻

It's great that Google provides such support! 🙌 Our foodtech company is planning to apply. Hopefully we will be able to get funding to scale up production. This would allow us to provide food to more people who need it.

A very interesting initiative from Google! 💡 Perhaps, thanks to the grant, we will be able to expand the functionality of our distance learning application and make it more accessible to children from temporarily displaced families.
Петро
You see, all of you are excited about these grants, and I still have my doubts. 😒 Why should large companies support potential competitors? They will probably have some sort of obligation to Google eventually.

I have already applied for a Google grant! 🎉 We are developing a platform for remote employment of IT specialists. Many people lost their jobs during the war, and our project will give them the opportunity to find new jobs in a safe environment. Keep your fists for us!
