ort sector plays a vital role in the development of the Tunisian economy. Digital technology is proving to be an invaluable lever for strengthening companies’ international initiatives. However, a gap persists between the flourishing world of technology and the traditional economy, despite the presence of some 1,000 Tunisian startups focused on digital technology.
Open innovation, the 2nd growth lever for companies worldwide
The “Start’n’Trade” program is committed to reducing this gap by exploiting the potential of digital and technological solutions.
7 exporting SMEs will have the opportunity to participate in the program in collaboration with the PEMA project (Projet Promotion des activités d’exportation vers de nouveaux marchés de l’Afrique subsaharienne). The ultimate aim is to foster collaborations between these SMEs and the startup ecosystem, in order to boost their export potential and open up new business prospects and opportunities abroad, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
