Investment thesis

Startup Tunisia is a government-backed national initiative designed to stimulate the country's startup ecosystem and disrupt its economy. It leverages Tunisia's strategic geographic position as a bridge between Europe, Africa, and the wider world, its young and highly educated population, a strong global diaspora, and modern infrastructure. Central to the initiative is the Startup Act, described as a unique legal framework promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The program also coordinates startup support organizations and special programs to help develop and grow the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Tunisia.
