Orange Corners Bangladesh

The Pre-Incubation phase engages Bangladeshi youth to participate in solving local challenges and is designed to raise awareness of entrepreneurship among students through the campus coordinator programme, university-based events, and Ideation Challenges. Any Bangladeshi aged between 18-30 years is eligible to participate in different programmes of this phase.

The Incubation phase is designed to attract, select and train early-stage entrepreneurs through intense capacity-building and mentorship sessions. The 6-month long Incubation programme equips young entrepreneurs, aged 18-35 years, with skills, funding and resources to start and grow sustainable businesses – specifically ones that contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and address the local challenges of Bangladesh. Selected teams in the Incubation programme will receive world-class training, one-on-one coaching, masterclasses, mentorship and networking. Successful graduates can unlock funding opportunities of up to 50,000 euros in post-incubation.

The Post-Incubation phase is designed to enable the top graduates of the Incubation programme to become eligible to access grants and soft loans up to 50,000 euros, along with business development support, and take their enterprises to the next level so that they can raise funding from VCs and other investors.
