Renewable Energies

Towards the Launch of the "Web" Platform, a New Decision-Making Tool The Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy is currently developing a new platform called Web, which will gather geographical, technical, and regulatory information on solar and wind resources across the country. This tool will provide immediate access to reliable data on solar and wind potential, highlight the best sites for project development, map lands, and contribute to reducing regulatory and institutional risks.

Developed in partnership with GIZ, under the Apst II project, this digital platform aims to guide private investors in identifying high-potential sites, while supporting public institutions in strategic planning and decision-making. By providing an overview of renewable energy resources and associated constraints, it seeks to strengthen coordination between stakeholders, improve transparency, and rationalize the initial stages of project development.

The realization of this project comes in a context where Tunisia is opening up new investment opportunities in renewable energies. Its main mission is to fill the information gap often cited by national and international investors interested in the Tunisian market.

A first version of the platform was recently presented and tested during a workshop bringing together representatives of public institutions, private actors, and technical partners, marking an important step towards accelerating the country's energy transition.

CDC and Smart Capital

Official Launch of the Greenov'i Initiative The Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) and Smart Capital will organize an official ceremony on Tuesday, September 23, to launch the Greentech Tunisie initiative. The event will take place at The Dot, Lac 2. Funded by the Greenov'i project, implemented by Expertise France and supported by the European Union, in partnership with Citet, this initiative aims to support Tunisian start-ups and SMEs engaged in ecological transition, through adapted financing solutions and better valorization of their projects at national and international levels.

During the ceremony, two innovative financial instruments - VAIR (Venture Acceleration for Impact and Resilience) and MAIR (Market Access for Impact and Resilience) - will be presented to highlight the opportunities offered to Tunisian start-ups and SMEs. This meeting will bring together the main actors of the entrepreneurial, institutional, and media ecosystem around the challenges of GreenTech in Tunisia, and will be followed by a moment of exchange and networking.

Its main objectives are to strengthen the growth and resilience of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, connect tools, resources, and networks to local and regional actors, and accelerate the transition to a sustainable future. The first edition of the event will take place on September 25 and 26 at the Foundation's headquarters. Panels, speakers, and workshops will punctuate this meeting, which promises to be a key event for the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Tunisia.
