Ukrainian technology companies that partner with the Ukrainian Startup Fund (USF) have received a powerful tool for scaling their businesses. Thanks to a new partnership with Microsoft, domestic startups can attract up to $150,000 in loans to use the Azure cloud platform.
The launch of the initiative was announced by the acting Minister of Digital Transformation, Oleksandr Bornyakov.
The head of the Ministry of Digital Affairs emphasized that integration into the global tech community remains one of the key drivers of digital reforms in Ukraine. Since a reliable cloud infrastructure is the foundation for any technological project, grants from Microsoft will allow developers to significantly optimize operating costs, improve their products faster, and effectively enter international markets.
The program has clear selection criteria. Cloud service credits can be used by:
Startups in the early stages of development - from Pre-seed to Series A.
Companies whose activities are based on their own software (software-based solutions).
Commercial (for-profit) projects that have not yet attracted large Series C level investments.
