  • Busi­ness model: Non-pro­fit as well as for-pro­fit orga­niz­a­ti­ons can apply
  • Solu­ti­on: PHINEO aims to sup­port star­tups that are deve­lo­ping solu­ti­ons in respon­se to the effects of the war against Ukrai­ne. The issu­es addres­sed can ran­ge from refu­gee cri­sis, recon­struc­tion, food inse­cu­ri­ty and ener­gy sup­ply to health and legal issu­es among others.
  • Team: Your team con­sists of at least two foun­ders. You are based in Ber­lin, as the­re is whe­re the pro­gram takes place. Sin­ce the pro­gram addres­ses the effects of war against Ukrai­ne, app­li­ca­ti­ons from teams with Ukrai­ni­an par­ti­ci­pants are preferred.
