Orange Digital Center
About
Developed by the Orange Group Foundation, Orange Digital Center brings together four of its programs in the same location to encourage the development of a real digital ecosystem in Africa, by making it more accessible to young people and women. The programs include a coding school, a Solidarity FabLab digital manufacturing workshop supported by the Orange Foundation; a start-up accelerator, Orange Fab; and Orange Ventures Africa, the Orange Group’s investment fund. All of these programs are free and open to everyone. They range from training young people in digital technology (90% of the training courses are hands-on training), to supporting project leaders, including the acceleration of start-ups and investment in them. So far, the centers are in 14 African Countries: Tunisia, Senegal, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Morocco, Mali, DRC, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Madagascar and Egypt, with plans to launch in more countries.
