Orange Social Venture Prize in Africa and the Middle East

An undeniable catalyst for progress, technological innovation can only reach its full potential if it is supported by a solid, viable business proposition that meets 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. It identifies, rewards, and supports business propositions that make a positive social and environmental impact.
