Every incubation or acceleration cycle ends with a graduation ceremony, in which we celebrate the achievements of the latest cohort. After that, Orange Corners graduates automatically enter our local and international Alumni Communities. Here they continue to find support to build even more successful businesses, also after their graduation. From their fellow alumni, but also from Orange Corners.
Our most promising alumni also have access to follow-up activities, such as the online Orange Corners Alumni Accelerator. In partnership with Amsterdam-based accelerator Forward·Inc, we provide some of our most successful graduates the opportunity to scale their businesses even further by offering additional training, mentorship and networking opportunities. We also organise trade missions to high-level events, such as the West Africa Deal Summit in Ghana, the SARA in Côte d’Ivoire and GITEX Africa in Morocco. Broader alumni support includes access to alumni events, follow-up masterclasses and other alumni projects, such as the ScaleChanger business scans.
