Between 2 and 8 June, all Orange Corners implementing partners and embassy contacts were in the Netherlands for a series of strategic workshops, visits and to get to know each other and the NL startup ecosystem better. To introduce them to our partners in the Netherlands, on Thursday June 6th we organised a networking event, where besides substantive content ample time was allocated to get to know each other (better).
The programme included, amongst others, a panel discussion with Orange Corners partners Maeva Kpadonou (i4policy), Laura di Santolo (Forward·Inc), David van Dijk (African Angel Academy), Onovughakpo Sonia Fajusigbe (NL Consulate in Lagos, Nigeria) and Franck Fléchard (Heineken International). Christina Bidmon (Utrecht University) shared some preliminary results from her research with Orange Corners.
NL Ambassador for Youth, Education and Work Jurriaan Middelhoff, a long-time friend to our programme, was of course also present. In his keynote speech, he shared his experiences visiting multiple Orange Corners locations.
