On 2 April 2025, we celebrated World Autism Awareness Day. We’re especially proud to highlight a powerful example of innovation with social impact: the start-up Rise Up Azul, represented by Isabel from Universidade Lusíada in Luanda, Angola won the first Pitch Battle of our Orange Corners Angola Student Ambassadors programme.
Their inspiring solution uses AI to support children with autism — creating personalised learning activities, strengthening family support and promoting inclusion in schools and institutions.
We believe that entrepreneurship should leave no one behind. This achievement is not only a milestone for Universidade Lusíada, but also a reflection of what Orange Corners Angola stands for: empowering young entrepreneurs to develop solutions that create real social impact.
Congratulations to Rise Up Azul! We look forward to seeing you in the Grand Final. Together, we build a future where innovation works to the benefit of everyone.
