New role for Orange Corners research coordinator Milou Derks

Our Research Coordinator & Senior Programme Advisor, Dr. ir. Milou Derks, is taking on an inspiring new role!

Starting this month, Milou will join the Utrecht School of Entrepreneurship as a part-time lecturer, working 1 day a week alongside her Orange Corners role. She’ll collaborate closely with none other than Prof. Dr. Erik Stam – a leading voice in entrepreneurial ecosystem research.

Together, they’ll dive deep into entrepreneurial ecosystems in Africa, using real data from our Orange Corners programmes. This collaboration will:

  • Boost the academic impact of our work
  • Strengthen our evidence-based approach to entrepreneurship support
  • Position Orange Corners as a thought leader in the global entrepreneurship space

Stay tuned as we turn data into action, and research into real change!
