Tech the Justice Gap: Justice for the Economy Forum Highlights Tunisia's Legaltech Revolution
On November 18th, at the Palais des Congrès in Tunis, the second edition of the Tech the Justice Gap: Justice for the Economy Forum shed light on a profound movement transforming Tunisia's legal landscape: the rise of legaltech solutions developed by a new generation of startups. These innovations, supported by HiiL through the Justice Accelerator, contribute to making justice more accessible, efficient, and tailored to the needs of Tunisian SMEs.
Five Tunisian Gems at the Heart of Legal Innovation
During the pitch session dedicated to legaltech innovations, five startups presented their high-impact technological solutions:
- Idaraty.tn: A digital platform simplifying administrative and legal procedures for entrepreneurs.
- E-Tafakna: A solution for digital contracts and electronic signatures, enabling SMEs to formalize transactions in a simple and secure manner.
- ContractzLab: An AI-based tool for automating contract creation, analysis, and management.
- Legal D: A solution facilitating access to legal information and practical guides for preventing and resolving legal issues using legal design.
- SIMARL: An innovative platform specializing in the management and securing of legal documents.
These five startups perfectly illustrate the emerging innovation dynamic in the field of law in Tunisia.
Artificial Intelligence in the Service of Justice
Several presented solutions already integrate AI technologies, including automatic contract analysis, instant legal recommendations, risk and obligation identification for entrepreneurs, and simplification of company registration and compliance procedures.
This integration of artificial intelligence is no longer experimental; it has become a genuine support infrastructure for SMEs, enabling them to secure their operations, reduce disputes, and save time.
Access to Justice: An Economic Challenge
Many SMEs still face difficulties in accessing traditional legal services, particularly when procedures are complex or time-consuming. The solutions developed by startups supported by HiiL aim to address this need.
By making legal services faster, more affordable, and accessible online, legaltech enables companies to avoid disputes, formalize their activities, improve their legal security, and invest and develop with confidence.
The participation of these startups in the Tech The Justice Gap 2025 Forum demonstrates that the digital transformation of the judicial system is already underway in Tunisia. HiiL's support, through acceleration, training, and institutional partnerships, allows these innovations to gradually integrate into the national legal ecosystem.
For a country where SMEs represent nearly 99% of the economic fabric, investing in economic justice is not just a technological choice; it is a strategic lever for stimulating growth, improving competitiveness, and modernizing the business climate.
