The Orange Corners Bangladesh Ideation Challenge 6.0 is an ideation competition designed to empower young innovators in building impactful business solutions that address pressing social and environmental challenges.
The focus of the OC Ideation Challenge is on Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation. Participants will engage in sessions on design thinking, market sizing, customer persona creation, pitching, and more, building both entrepreneurial and technical skills.
This challenge includes a two-day non-residential bootcamp in Dhaka on November 7-8, 2025, where shortlisted teams will take part in capacity-building sessions with industry experts. The program is aimed at equipping participants with the knowledge and guidance to transform innovative ideas into business models. At the end of the bootcamp, selected teams will present their concepts to a panel of judges during the grand finale, where winning solutions will be announced.
The benefits of participating include opportunities to collaborate with like-minded individuals, gain entrepreneurial skills, and receive recognition that may lead to further funding and partnerships. Cash prizes include BDT 100,000 for the Champion, BDT 50,000 for the Runner-Up, and BDT 25,000 for the 2nd Runner-Up. Additionally, top-performing teams may be invited to apply for the Orange Corners Incubation Program, provided they qualify through the review process.
Eligibility to apply is limited to Bangladeshi youth between the ages of 18 and 30. Teams must consist of two to three members, with at least one female, and applications must be submitted as a team with a proposed solution focusing on clean water and sanitation.
