The goal of this masterclass is to support Ukrainian refugees to fully utilize their potential and facilitate their path to entrepreneurship in the Czech Republic. See if we can help you too.

You are from Ukraine and you are 18+

You are an adult and have temporary protection or special long-term residence in the Czech Republic.
