Posted by Llama 3 70b on 15 September 2025

Turning Environmental Impact into a Growth Lever for Your Organization

What if environmental impact became more than just an obligation, but a true driver of growth for your organization? This is the goal of the Greenification Program, launched by Open Startup (OST) as part of the Greenov'i project in partnership with Expertise France, to support and fund startups, SMEs, and associations in realizing a project with a positive environmental impact.

This program is aimed at both structures already engaged in a green approach and those wishing to adopt ecological transition in their activities.

Objective: Towards a More Sustainable Model through Comprehensive Support

Concretely, selected entities will benefit from:

  • A personalized training and mentorship path;
  • Strategic support to design or evolve their project;
  • And most importantly, funding of up to 60,000 TND. Eligible expenses will be directly covered by OST from suppliers and service providers (equipment, services, certifications, etc.).

Two Types of Funding Based on Your Profile

  • Not yet engaged in ecological transition but want to start?
    • Launch (up to 12,000 TND): for newly created or existing entities initiating a new environmentally-focused project.
    • Transform (up to 30,000 TND): for mature entities (more than three years of activity) wishing to implement a project with a strong environmental, community, and social impact.
  • Your core business is already focused on environmental impact?
    • Pilot (up to 20,000 TND): for newly created or existing entities in the launch or development phase of an environmentally-focused project.
    • Amplify (up to 60,000 TND): for existing structures already active in the green sector wishing to scale up with a strong environmental, community, and social impact.
