Our ambition is to develop and strengthen the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Nigeria. This ecosystem should enable youth to develop their business concept and become successful entrepreneurs, by providing them with the necessary opportunities, skills and access to markets.
Through Orange Corners we provide young entrepreneurs with a 6-month incubation progamme. At the same time, Orange Corners serves as a bridge between these innovative entrepreneurs and the private sector. This offers a great benefit to all partners involved. Orange Corners is an initiative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in collaboration with a local service provider.

You have the business idea. We have everything else you need. Together we create the future.
Because Orange Corners is more than a place; more than a training; and more than a community – it is an entire entrepreneurial ecosystem which transforms a young person with an idea into a business providing value.
Here, you will discover the entrepreneur in you, to redefine and shape your future. You will gain more self-confidence, gain access to the knowledge, tools and resources to leverage your business ideas. You will be connected to a network of entrepreneurs, the market and new opportunities.
All this is possible thanks to the collaboration between Orange Corners and local, national and international partners such as FATE Foundation.
Nigeria has a significant underutilisation of its youth population with staggering levels of youth unemployment and underemployment (above 60%). Therefore, this growing issue provides the opportunity to leverage the passion of the youth, innovation, technology and entrepreneurial mindset to add value to the economy.
However, from our experience, we understand that young businesses have problems surviving the first five years because they lack the knowledge and fostering environment necessary to transition from a concept to reality.
Therefore, our objective is to contribute to the creation of a prosperous and robust entrepreneurial ecosystem in Nigeria where young people can develop needed competencies, become more confident and take advantage of networks and opportunities they were ignorant about to provide value to the Nigerian economy through viable, growing and sustainable businesses.
