Youth Business Poland is implementing the BEST BY FUTUREMAKERS program, organized in collaboration with Standard Chartered Bank, Youth Business International, and Ukrainian House. Primarily, the BEST project by Futuremakers aims to support 10,000 citizens of Ukraine who, as a result of the war, have been forced to migrate to Poland.

The project is designed to aid Ukrainians in search of employment, those looking to rebuild their businesses, or individuals aspiring to start a business for the first time. Participants receive individual mentoring, consulting services, online seminars, networking events, and access to a database of information on entrepreneurship and employment. Additional support is  provided in the integration process, assisting in overcoming language and cultural barriers to ensure a better quality of life.

Starting from February 1, 2024, recruitment will also begin for the Polish-Ukrainian Business Bridge program.

The project’s goal is to connect Ukrainian entrepreneurs with Polish entrepreneurs, innovators, scientists, and decision-makers, enhancing their entrepreneurship competencies. The program will support the development of businesses in Poland and the discovery of innovative solutions that will help create new job opportunities.
