To succeed, entrepreneurs need the right mix of infrastructure, good policies, education, funding and a culture that encourages risk-taking. Orange Corners is interested in topics like how to make most of limited resources when supporting ecosystem development, and whether efforts should target specific regions, industries or entrepreneurs. At the root lies one big question: how entrepreneurial ecosystems differ across developing countries and what that means for tailoring support.

Ecosystem Mapping Burundi
The first step towards successfully launching a new Orange Corners programme is always an in-depth ecosystem mapping. In May 2023, our programme advisor for Burundi Milou toured Burundi together with a colleague specialised in private sector development and an embassy colleague. In this summarised version of the Burundi ecosystem mapping for the very first time we share some of their observations with the larger public.
