CoinsPaid and CCIFE Empower Ukrainian Women Entrepreneurs in Estonia

Tallinn, April 03, 2025 — CoinsPaid, an international crypto payments company, offering ready-to-use cryptocurrency payment solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with the France–Estonia Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Estonia (CCIFE) to empower Ukrainian women entrepreneurs in Estonia within the Third Annual Business Idea Competition. This collaboration underscores CoinsPaid’s commitment to its overall ESG policy and demonstrates its endeavor on external social responsibility.

CoinsPaid is proud to support initiatives that empower talented Ukrainian women entrepreneurs. Last year, I had the privilege of serving as a jury member, and I was truly impressed by the passion and innovative ideas presented. This competition is not just about winning; it’s about fostering a strong entrepreneurial community that can make a lasting impact.

Max Krupyshev

CEO of CoinsPaid

The power of community is in the DNA of the CCIFE France-Estonia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and we are happy to provide a dynamic business environment for aspiring entrepreneurs. We had just four applicants when we launched this competition in 2023; last year, the number grew to 25. The increasing interest each year is a testament to this initiative's real impact on the participants' business ideas and lives. We are proud to organize a competition that creates tangible opportunities.

Empowering Ukrainian Women Entrepreneurs

The Business Idea Competition aims to support and empower aspiring Ukrainian women entrepreneurs by providing:

Mentorship: Guidance from experienced professionals to refine business ideas and strategies.
Networking Opportunities: Connections with investors and industry leaders to facilitate business growth.
Free CCIFE Membership: a one-year free membership, fostering long-term support within our network.
Prize Opportunity: A chance to win a prize to help launch or expand their business ventures.

This competition is about more than ideas — it’s about giving strength, support, and opportunity to women rebuilding their lives. What sets this year apart is the realization that this initiative truly makes a difference—not only for Ukrainian women, but for us as organizers as well. Since last year, we’ve been honored to have the support of both the French and Ukrainian ambassadors, and this year, the City of Tallinn has joined as a strong partner. The Minister of Social Affairs was present at our previous event, and we hope to welcome them again this year.
