The Orange Social Venture Prize in Africa and the Middle East 2024 { up to € 50,000 in Prize }
The Orange Social Venture Prize in Africa and the Middle East 2024 exemplifies how technological innovation can serve as an undeniable catalyst for progress, but its full potential is only realized when supported by a solid, viable business proposition that addresses current and future social and environmental needs.
As well as encouraging innovation, Orange also rewards the positive entrepreneurial spirit of dynamic start-ups within the framework of its Social Venture Prize. Since 2011 this International Grand Prix competition has welcomed start-ups from 17 countries in Africa and the Middle East. It identifies, rewards, and supports business propositions that make a positive social and environmental impact.
To encourage sustainable, responsible, and inclusive development, the International Women’s Prize was introduced in 2020, promoting business ventures led by women entrepreneurs.
