The 2026 Orange Social Venture Prize (OSVP) is an annual competition recognizing innovative solutions that address real community needs using AI, data, or cybersecurity technologies in Africa and the Middle East. The prize supports young entrepreneurs whose startups demonstrate tangible social and environmental benefits through digital innovation.
The competition operates through a two-stage process: national selection in each of the 17 participating countries where Orange operates, followed by an international round for top prizes. Beyond financial awards (€25,000 first prize, €15,000 second, €10,000 third, plus a €20,000 Women's Prize), recipients gain significant visibility, networking opportunities with the Orange ecosystem, and mentorship to help scale their ventures.
Projects are reviewed by Orange employees via the Orange Engage for Change internal platform. This is one of the few major competitions specifically targeting AI and data-driven social ventures in Africa and the Middle East.
