Fostering Cross-Border Innovation Partnerships
On June 18, 2025, HealthCare Innovation proudly convened an inspiring workshop that brought together French innovators from the Ecole d’Ingénieurs ISIS Castres and Tunisian digital health and AI pioneers. This collaborative event epitomized a growing synergy between Tunisia and France, rooted in shared ambitions to advance healthcare through cutting-edge technology.
Co-organized with Tunisian partners including the Faculté De Pharmacie de Monastir, Isetcom, Enactus Faculty of Pharmacy of Monastir, and Pharma 4 Novation, the workshop became a fertile ground for idea exchange, networking, and strategic planning.
Collaborative Exploration of Innovation and Challenges
Participants engaged in thorough discussions exploring promising startup projects at the intersection of digital health and AI-driven pharmaceutical innovation. By collectively identifying significant challenges, such as regulatory barriers, financing gaps, and market entry hurdles, the group was able to co-design pragmatic action plans aimed at sustainable growth.
The emphasis on cross-border deployment strategies underscored the importance of harmonizing regulatory, commercial, and technological frameworks between Tunisia and France, promoting scalable solutions that benefit both healthcare systems.
Empowering Emerging Innovators and Expert Communities
This workshop also served as a knowledge exchange platform enabling students and young entrepreneurs to learn from seasoned healthtech experts including Dr Haroun OUANES, MBA, Myriam Razgallah Khrouf, and others. The dynamic environment fostered skill-building, mentorship, and motivation vital for empowering the next generation of health innovators.
Such cross-pollination of expertise and enthusiasm accelerates the maturation of Tunisia’s digital health ecosystem and facilitates stronger ties within the Euro-Med innovation community.
