Orange Summer Challenge 2025 : Kinkoumba sacrée Championne de l’innovation numérique par la Sonatel
Innovation was once again in the spotlight this year at the Orange Summer Challenge 2025, organized by the Orange Digital Center. During three months of total immersion in the Fab Lab, passionate young talents took up the challenge: to imagine and develop technological solutions capable of meeting the real needs of the Senegalese people.
The result of comprehensive support (coaching, prototyping materials, training and follow-up), their projects demonstrate once again the ability of the new generation to create value and shape the future of digital.
The Winners of the 2025 Edition
The Kinkoumba team, the 2025 revelation, was crowned the grand winner of this edition. They impressed the jury members and the public with their innovative and impactful project, thus winning the first prize of 2 million CFA francs.
The other finalist teams were also recognized.
Karangué won the 2nd prize with a prize of 1,500,000 CFA francs.
Autopub comes in 3rd place with a sum of 1,000,000 CFA francs.
The 4th prize was awarded to Bioener Flow with a reward of 500,000 CFA francs.
Orange Digital Center: a talent accelerator
For Awa Niang, Director of Institutional Communication and External Relations at Sonatel, this initiative illustrates the group's commitment to supporting youth and promoting local innovation.
Indeed, for the past four years, the Orange Digital Center has been opening its doors to those with ideas, helping them transform them into real projects. In this initiative, 70,000 young people have already been trained and made aware of digital skills, while 1,230 learners have been certified, with a 100% job placement rate for the latest Sonatel Academy graduating class.
The ecosystem also relies on a completely free Fab Lab, support programs such as Poesam, as well as spaces dedicated to innovative uses of 5G.
Between creativity, audacity and technological mastery, the participants of the Orange Summer Challenge 2025 embody the new generation of innovators capable of moving the country from the status of consumer to that of creator of solutions.
Orange Digital Center thus reaffirms its commitment to supporting, training and inspiring young people to build an even more connected, more competitive and resolutely future-oriented Senegal.
