Unilever Bangladesh Limited recently signed an agreement with Orange Corners, an initiative of the ministry of foreign affairs of the Netherlands, to support young entrepreneurs in Bangladesh.

Implemented by YY Ventures, BYLC Ventures, and SAJIDA Foundation, and supported by DBL Group and Unilever, the Orange Corners programme in the country aims to create opportunities for the next generation of Bangladeshi business leaders by providing them with the necessary tools and resources to succeed.

This partnership with Orange Corners Bangladesh aligns with Unilever's global mission to help create a more equitable and sustainable future, said a press release.

By supporting young entrepreneurs in Bangladesh, Unilever hopes to drive economic growth and create a positive impact on the community.

"Since 2020, Unilever has been working with social enterprises in Bangladesh and helping innovative social businesses to solve market-based solutions which can play vital roles in poverty reduction, economic development and pollution reduction," said Zaved Akhtar, managing director and CEO of Unilever Bangladesh. 

"Our collaboration with Orange Corners will allow us to reach a larger group of youth. I believe our combined strengths will create an inclusive and equitable entrepreneurship ecosystem in Bangladesh," he added.
