Tunisia has 1 city in the top 1000 and is one of Northern Africa’s best countries for setting up a startup.
Since 2023, Tunisia lost 8 spots in the Global Startup Ecosystem Index, having now positioned itself as 91st worldwide.
The Tunisian startup ecosystem is still in the early phase of its development, but the total startup funding raised by the Tunisian tech startups increased significantly in 2022. The Tunisian government is well aware of the importance of creating startup hubs and has introduced the startup support organization Startup Tunisia. The organization passed a Startup Act in 2018, which is a legal framework designed to boost innovation and foster entrepreneurship. Another initiative of Startup Tunisia, Startup Label, is a special status that enables startups to be exempted from capital gain tax for up to eight years.
