British Venture Capitalists to Visit Tunis on September 17
British investors and venture capital players are set to travel to Tunis on Thursday, September 17, as part of a regional tour across North Africa. The primary objective is to gauge the pulse of the Tunisian ecosystem, assess its innovation landscape, and establish direct contact with key local stakeholders.
Event Details
The meeting will be held at the residence of the British Ambassador to Tunisia. It is organized as a training workshop for startups under the auspices of the GEP (Global Entrepreneurship Programme), the UK’s initiative designed to support entrepreneurs in expanding internationally.
The British Delegation
The visiting delegation includes:
- Hannah Williams, Investment Director
- Anthony William Catt, Founder of Ventures54
- Eamon Tuhami, Head of the GEP Programme for Africa
Building on the Momentum of London Tech Week
This visit extends the momentum generated by Tunisia’s participation in the London Tech Week last June, marking the second consecutive year of Tunisian involvement. It underscores the growing British interest in strengthening cooperation with the Tunisian entrepreneurial ecosystem.
A Unique Opportunity for Tunisian Startups
For Tunisian investors aiming to expand into the United Kingdom, this event is of paramount importance. It presents a rare opportunity for direct access to British investors and operators without intermediaries—a channel that is typically difficult to secure.
Startups currently in the process of raising funds or structuring their international operations are strongly encouraged to take action. To be included among the participants, they should reach out to the Confédération des Entreprises Citoyennes de Tunisie (CONECT), which is coordinating Tunisia’s participation in this event.
