About Orange Corners

Orange Corners is committed to making a positive contribution to South Africa’s socioeconomic development by creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurs. The programme represents a partnership between organisations such as Shell, Heineken, Vopak, Royal HaskoningDHV and Phillips who are leveraging their combined networks, skills and knowledge for the benefit of the Orange Corners Entrepreneurs.

By supporting South-African Entrepreneurs during a one-year programme facilitated in Johannesburg and Diepsloot, the Orange Corners initiative helped 45 entrepreneurs with co-working space, mentoring and training in 2018. Bringing the programme to the next level in 2019, Orange Corners provides 30 South-African Entrepreneurs with custom support, based on their business needs.

Dutch Ambassador Marisa Gerards says: “Our mission is to establish an innovative support system for entrepreneurs and truly partner with them in their business journeys.  A key element of the initiative is to link companies, individuals and knowledge institutes from South Africa and the Netherlands with each other, thereby not only combining our separate expertise for joint solutions but also strengthening the relationship between South Africa and the Netherlands”.

Orange Corners is a platform for entrepreneurs to learn, grow their businesses, expand their professional networks and stimulate their creativity. The aim is to contribute to South Africa’s socioeconomic growth by creating an environment for local entrepreneurship to thrive in. In doing so, the initiative provides a place to access a network of like-minded individuals for Dutch entrepreneurs.
