In 2023, East Europe Foundation organized the acceleration program of the Act to Support contest as part of the Phoenix project with the support of the European Union.

For several months of the acceleration program, teams of 20 civil society organizations worked with mentors and industry experts, listened to lectures, analyzed the market, studied successful solutions, finalized their concepts, and prepared for presentations of their projects. The mentors and partners of the acceleration program were the Center42 innovation agency.

During the demo day and project pitching, the jury selected 10 winning organizations. Each received funding of up to €20,000 to implement each civic tech tool. They finalized projects for chatbots, websites, and platforms that will help communities, IDPs, and other people affected by the war. So, now we are going to share 10 developed/refined solutions from our winners.
