Join the next session of Breakfast with Clusters4health – a networking and dialogue series bringing together Ukrainian organisations and European health innovation networks.
This session will focus on how Ukrainian startups and SMEs can better access European markets – and how clusters, networks, and EU programmes can provide meaningful support. We’ll explore real barriers to internationalisation, highlight available tools and upcoming funding opportunities, and open a practical discussion on how to connect Ukrainian innovation with European ecosystems.
📅 When: Wednesday, 3 September 2025 | 8:30–9:30 CEST | 9:30–10:30 Ukrainian time
💻 Online (in English with simultaneous translation)
🎯 Theme: Smart Internationalisation: Supporting Ukrainian SMEs and Startups Abroad
The series is organised as part of the Clusters4health project – an EU-funded initiative under the SMP-COSME programme, aimed at strengthening cooperation between Ukrainian and European health clusters. The project supports the integration of Ukrainian organisations into European networks, facilitates access to innovation, investment and training, and contributes to rebuilding a modern, resilient healthcare ecosystem in Ukraine.
