Orange Corners Entrepreneurship Programme in Nigeria

Are you a Nigerian young person, between the ages of 18 – 35?

Have you seen a problem or issue that is really just an opportunity?

Do you have an idea or solution that you are not quite sure how to articulate or implement but you’re passionate about and willing to see it through?

If yes, then Orange Corners is the place for you.

The 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 they 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.

The 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.

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 the experience, they 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.
