For the first time, Tunisia took centre stage at London Tech Week 2025 with a dedicated national pavilion, marking a significant milestone in the country's journey as a rising innovation hub on the African continent.
"This year, Tunisia is no longer just a visitor - it is a contributor, a visible player showcasing the talent and capabilities of its tech ecosystem," said Nejia Gharbi, Director General of Tunisia's Caisse des Dpts et Consignations CDC.
Held from June 9 to 13 in London, the event is one of the world's largest gatherings dedicated to innovation, emerging technologies, and entrepreneurship. Tunisia was represented by a dynamic delegation of around 30 startups and tech companies, active in key sectors such as cybersecurity, digital health, and artificial intelligence. Investors, accelerators, and members of the Tunisian diaspora in the UK also took part in this landmark initiative.
A National Pavilion Amplifying Tunisia's Innovation PotentialThe Tunisian Pavilion served as a strategic platform for startups to pitch their solutions to an international audience of investors, development funders, and policy leaders. It was also a vibrant meeting space for the Tunisian community in the UK, who welcomed the country's visibility at such a prestigious event.
Tunisia was spotlighted on Day One of the event during a dedicated Startup Stage session, where the country's ecosystem was presented as a model for Africa. Special mention was made of Tunisia's internationally acclaimed Startup Act, a forward-looking legal framework that has helped accelerate startup growth, attract investment, and foster collaboration between public and private actors.
