SAJIDA Foundation and Orange Corners (OC) have signed an agreement in early January to open a new OC Hub in Dhaka, alongside local partners YY Ventures and the Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center (BYLC).
Through the Orange Corners Access to Finance Fund, implemented by SAJIDA Foundation, the program will also support seed‐funding, said a press release issued on Monday.
The aim of the Orange Corners program is to enable Bangladeshi youth with skills, funding, and resources to build sustainable businesses; all while enriching and creating an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem.
By providing training, access to networks with expertise, and mentorship to young entrepreneurs, the program aims to improve job prospects for youth between the ages of 18 and 35.
With the opening of Orange Corners Bangladesh, Orange Corners will have 18 hubs in 15 countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Before the end of the year, OC aims to expand to around 20 local hubs.
