Orange Corners Nigeria Incubation Programme Cohort 16

Orange Corners Nigeria is accepting applications for Cohort 16 of its six-month incubation programme in Lagos. Launched by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and implemented by FATE Foundation, the programme helps young entrepreneurs turn innovative ideas into sustainable ventures. Participants receive enterprise-management training covering strategy, finance and marketing, together with tailored business-incubation and advisory support. The programme also provides mentorship, industry exposure and connections to local and international markets. Eligible participants can access up to €30,000 for prototype development and testing. The current application is for the Lagos cohort. The official programme page marks the Ogun application as closed. Applicants should use the official application portal linked from the programme page. The portal requires an account, so candidates should register early and allow time to complete the application. Applications are open from 1 September to 30 November 2026. The organiser has not stated a closing time or timezone, so applicants should submit before the final day.

Applicants should: • be young entrepreneurs aged 18–35; • be applying for the current Lagos Cohort 16; • be developing an innovative idea or venture that can benefit from incubation, training, mentorship and prototype support; • be prepared to participate in the six-month programme. The Ogun application is closed. Access to funding is part of the programme’s support offer and should not be treated as an automatic award to every participant.
