AI Development in Tunisia
AI built on the region's first Startup Act
Tunisia passed the region's first Startup Act in 2018, years before most of its neighbors had equivalent legislation, and it still produces engineers who work directly with French firms on a proximity and time-zone basis that Sub-Saharan or Asian outsourcing hubs can't match. The domestic economy has struggled since the 2011 revolution, but the technical talent pool hasn't gone anywhere — it's just been underused by local employers who can't yet pay what European clients can. We build products designed to put that talent to work on problems bigger than the domestic market alone would generate.
