Startup Act Tunisia - Label Startup
Startup Act Tunisie - Label Startup
Status not published
Applications are submitted continuously on the Startup Tunisia portal and reviewed by a labelling committee (Comité de Labellisation) that meets in periodic sessions.
Labelled startups receive a package rather than a single grant: a founder's allowance (bourse de startup) paid monthly for up to one year to up to three founders, an eight-year corporate tax exemption, state coverage of social contributions, a special foreign currency account, and the right for public-sector or company employees to take a one-year startup leave with salary continuity.
