The American investment fund SEAF has announced the start of its operations in Ukraine. Lviv will be the first city where it will implement its programs. Starting in 2026, the fund plans to invest up to $30 million in the development of small and medium-sized businesses.
This was announced by the mayor of Lviv, Andrii Sadovyi.
According to him, the agreement with the fund was signed in Washington. SEAF is one of the most famous American investment funds, which has been supporting the development of small and medium-sized businesses in more than 40 countries around the world for over 30 years.
“SEAF is starting work in Ukraine, and Lviv will be the starting point,” Sadovyi said.
He explained that starting in 2026, the fund plans to invest up to $30 million in projects aimed at developing entrepreneurship — from construction and rehabilitation to creating new jobs.
The fund will also strengthen existing city business support programs. “For example, the city provides a grant, and the fund adds investments to amplify the effect of these programs,” the mayor said.
Sadovyi emphasized that this is “a real investment in the development of Lviv and all of Ukraine” and thanked American partners for their trust in the city.
