About the Programme
Young entrepreneurs aged 18–35 are invited to apply for the Orange Corners Nigeria Incubation Programme, which is currently accepting applications. By the Kingdom of the Netherlands, this programme was launched in 2019, and through FATE Foundation, it is implemented, empowering young business owners to create sustainable ventures. A global initiative of the Netherlands government, Orange Corners supports young entrepreneurs in Africa and the Middle East through incubation, training, and access to funding. In Nigeria, delivery of the programme is carried out in partnership with FATE Foundation, a leading non-profit organisation focused on enterprise development and entrepreneurship support. For Ogun-based entrepreneurs aged 18–35, this programme is now open, focusing on key sectors such as Circular Economy, Agriculture, Health, Renewable Energy, Technology, and Water.
Programme Benefits
With the tools to succeed, the 6-month programme equips participants through four core components:
Enterprise Management Training: Through interactive workshops on strategy, finance, and marketing, business fundamentals are mastered by participants. Core competencies in business planning, financial management, customer acquisition, and operational efficiency are built by them.
