Mastercard Strive

The Mastercard Strive EU program aims to boost the resilience and growth of European small businesses and support their role in creating an inclusive digital economy across the EU. This is achieved through an Innovation Fund and broader support to the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The Mastercard Strive EU Innovation Fund made €4.5 million available to build solutions and tools to help European micro and small enterprises access finance, operate safely and effectively in the digital economy, and navigate consumer and regulatory pressures on environmental, social and governance matters (ESG).

 

Mastercard Strive EU also brings together policymakers, civil society, the private sector, and small businesses to share perspectives, cross-pollinate learnings and amplify promising models.
