Moovjee Tunisia has announced its 2025 call for applications, presenting young entrepreneurs with a rare chance to access mentorship, financial support and international opportunities that can reshape their future. For many, the program represents more than an award, it is empowerment through opportunity. By combining funding, expert guidance and cultural exchange, Moovjee Tunisia enables young people to transform ideas into ventures that have both local impact and global reach. Since 2016, the initiative has supported thousands of Tunisians, proving that youth are at the center of the country’s entrepreneurial growth.
For young Tunisians with a project or idea, this program could be the turning point that brings ambition to life. Participants will benefit from financial endowments to develop their projects, tailor-made mentoring and access to a unique entrepreneurial and cultural network. One of the program’s distinctive features is the chance to travel to a major trade show in Paris, providing exposure to global markets, learning from international best practices and creating opportunities for partnerships beyond Tunisia’s borders. This combination of resources and experiences transforms a simple application into a pathway toward business growth and international recognition.
Moovjee Tunisia offers four award categories to meet participants at different stages of their entrepreneurial journey. The Moovjee Tunisia Grand Prize is intended for entrepreneurs who have already created their business before October 3, 2025, giving recognition and resources to scale their ventures. The Hope Award targets project leaders or self-employed entrepreneurs with validated ideas planning to launch by October 15, 2026. The Student Entrepreneur Award is reserved for university students who are actively leading projects or running small businesses, allowing innovation from campus to translate into market-ready ventures. Finally, the Art & Culture Award celebrates cultural creators and entrepreneurs in art, performance, innovative platforms or other cultural projects. These categories ensure that every young Tunisian, regardless of stage or sector, has a chance to receive support and guidance.
The impact of Moovjee Tunisia is evident in the program’s history. Since its inception in 2016, more than 6,000 young people aged 18 to 30 have been accompanied on their entrepreneurial journeys. Over 200,000 Tunisian dinars in prizes have been awarded and more than 50 startups have received international support through the program’s network. These achievements highlight not only numbers but also lives transformed, young Tunisians taking their ideas and turning them into businesses that contribute to the local economy and reach global markets.
The program is grounded in core values that guide every action and decision. Confidence in youth is central, recognizing that the country’s greatest asset lies in its young generation and their potential to drive meaningful change. Fair access to entrepreneurship ensures that every young person, regardless of background, can create or take over a business from their first professional experience. Commitment and transmission emphasize mentoring across generations, sharing knowledge and experience that can shape careers long-term. Local ambition and international openness encourage projects that address local challenges while aiming for a global impact. Creativity and innovation celebrate bold ideas and unconventional approaches, while kindness and solidarity form the foundation of a community built on listening, mutual support and respect for each individual’s journey.
Through mentorship, funding and international exposure, Moovjee Tunisia continues to provide more than opportunities, it provides a platform for young Tunisians to learn, grow and lead. The initiative is a springboard for action, connecting participants with mentors, peers and networks that can guide them toward success. By focusing on the potential of youth, the program helps build a generation of entrepreneurs who can strengthen Tunisia’s economy while also contributing ideas and innovations to the wider world.
With applications open until October 3, 2025, Moovjee Tunisia invites young Tunisians to take the first step toward realizing their entrepreneurial ambitions. For those ready to turn their ideas into impactful projects, the program offers resources, guidance and connections that can transform vision into reality.
