The Ministry of Environment has announced the extension of the deadline for submitting applications for national innovation competitions dedicated to combating plastic pollution. Tunisian startups now have until August 10, 2025, to submit their projects.
The call is addressed to young Tunisian companies developing innovative solutions in three key areas:
