REDpreneur.UA hosted the workshop "Social Entrepreneurship at the Level of Ukrainian Red Cross Organizations: Financial and Marketing Tools." During the event, participating teams presented inspiring business ideas such as social laundries, innovative spaces for psychosocial support, and thrift stores for vulnerable populations.

The workshop aimed to provide practical knowledge in marketing, financial planning, and business model development. With the support of mentors and experts, participants worked on strategic steps to launch and sustain these social initiatives. Key topics included creating value propositions and addressing legal and financial considerations, particularly in the context of wartime challenges.

This workshop marked a significant milestone, equipping the teams with actionable tools and strategic guidance to build social enterprises that strengthen community resilience and address critical needs.
