From 23 May to 1 June, 2025, the 7th edition of the Salon International de l’Agriculture et des Ressources Animales (SARA 2025) will take place in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire – and we’re excited to be back!
This year, we’re once again bringing a vibrant group of Orange Corners alumni from Côte d’Ivoire, Mali and Senegal to Abidjan for a dedicated startup mission. These young entrepreneurs, mostly under 35, active in the agriculture, horticulture and food sectors – and they mean business.
Our 15 startups will be present between 26 and 29 May, looking to connect with potential partners, investors and clients. Whether you’re looking for innovative solutions, fresh ideas or new collaborations – don’t miss the opportunity to meet them.
💼 Let’s talk business – before or during SARA 2025!
SARA participant in the spotlight: Adja Sembene Fall – Contanna
Contanna is the first luxury tea house in Senegal. Contanna transforms local plants that everyone in Senegal knows into luxury tea boxes. They take the old recipes from their youth and turn them into a product that people can use every day.
Want to meet Adja? She’ll be part of the Orange Corners mission to SARA 2025!
