On Friday, 26th September 2025, the Foundation for Youth Initiative (FYI), through the Orange Corners Innovation Fund (OCIF), hosted the second edition of the Business Pitching Competition in Juba.
The event brought together 24 dynamic young entrepreneurs who pitched their innovative ideas to an independent jury, competing for categorized prize investments. The competition was a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the entrepreneurial drive shaping South Sudan’s future.
After an inspiring round of presentations, seven entrepreneurs were awarded in three different categories to scale their ventures.
The OCIF Pitch Competition is more than just a contest; it is a platform that empowers youth to build sustainable businesses, create jobs, and contribute to South Sudan’s economic transformation.
Congratulations to all winners and participants. Your innovation, passion, and vision continue to demonstrate that South Sudan’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is full of promise and potential.
