The WYSE Up! grant is only made possible through the support of the industry at large. Our aim, through this grant, is to welcome new, interesting and innovative organisations into our community, who can help future-proof the industry at large.
Each WYSE Up! grant costs on average EUR 5,000 to deliver. This includes free registrations to events, accommodation, transportation and membership.
If your organisation would like to donate to this cause, please complete the payment below, or email us for further information on how to support this initiative. Alternatively you can use the ‘pay it forward’ options on your membership and event invoicing. All supporting donors are listed on our website.
Thank you to our donors
