Orange Corners Baghdad is set to launch a dedicated series of “Female Masterclass Sessions” designed to equip aspiring women entrepreneurs with the practical tools needed to launch successful startups. Scheduled to run across three days in late January and early February, these sessions serve as a crucial pre-incubation step, helping founders validate their business models and prepare for future growth.
Event Details
- What: Female Masterclass Sessions (Pre-Incubation)
- When: January 26, January 28, and February 4, 2026

About The Event
These masterclasses are designed as an interactive and practical experience aimed at empowering women to discover their potential in the world of entrepreneurship. The program addresses common hurdles founders face, such as determining project feasibility and understanding market needs, by working through these questions from within the “startup experience” itself. The initiative creates a safe and inspiring space for women to learn, exchange experiences, and build a supportive professional network.
What to Expect
Attendees will participate in practical workshops that move beyond theory to cover essential startup fundamentals:
- Business Model Canvas: A deep dive into how a project functions and generates value.
- Market Research Strategy: Methods to understand the market landscape before investing significant time and resources.
- Go-To-Market Strategy: Developing actionable steps to enter the market that align with the startup’s current stage.
Pathway to Incubation
This masterclass series acts as a strategic gateway for the broader Orange Corners ecosystem. Participation in these sessions provides entrepreneurs with a better chance of being accepted into the upcoming Orange Corners Baghdad Incubation Program, which is expected to begin in April.
