Orange Egypt has launched the 15th edition of the Orange Social Venture Prize, OSVP 2025, inviting early-stage startups from across the MENA region to compete for a slice of the €70,000 prize pool. The competition is all about tech for good—supporting ventures that tackle social and environmental challenges through innovation.
Local startups can apply now through the official platform at poesam.optimytool.com/en with the deadline set for May 18, 2025. Once entries close, a local jury of business leaders and Orange Egypt representatives will pick three winners to represent Egypt in the international finals.
At the global level, finalists from Orange’s operating countries will compete for:
- €25,000 (First Prize)
- €15,000 (Second Prize)
- €10,000 (Third Prize)
Plus, to promote gender inclusion, Orange is again running its International Women’s Award for the fifth year in a row, offering €20,000 to one standout woman-led startup.
“Launching the OSVP for the 15th year reflects our deep belief in tech innovation and its ability to create positive social impact,” said Maha Nagy, Chief Communication Officer at Orange Egypt.
OSVP 2025 – A Legacy of Empowering Purpose-Driven Startups
OSVP 2025 isn’t just about funding—it’s about real-world impact. Since its inception, the competition has helped amplify startup voices that are redefining sustainability, digital access, education, clean energy, and more.
“With the fast-evolving tech and entrepreneurship landscape, Orange remains committed to offering funding and technical support for startups focused on solving real-world challenges,” Nagy added.
“We are proud of the competition’s long-standing legacy in advancing sustainable development and improving lives through innovation.”
This year’s edition continues to build on that legacy by spotlighting ideas that matter. Whether it’s a clean energy solution in Egypt or a mobile health app in Tunisia, OSVP 2025 gives regional entrepreneurs the platform, and the push, they need to go global.
So, if you’re building something bold with a purpose, now’s the time to apply.
