Digital health transformation requires strong coordination between research hubs, innovation clusters, and industry actors. The WHO Global Strategy on Digital Health (2020–2025) emphasizes ecosystem collaboration, governance, and interoperability as foundational pillars for effective health system modernization. The OECD similarly highlights that innovation ecosystems must connect research, startups, and industry to scale impactful solutions.

This partnership aligns with these priorities by creating structured collaboration between Tunisia’s biotech infrastructure and HealthTech innovation ecosystem.

Joint Program Objectives

• Launch a joint Digital Health & biotech project pipeline, including proposal development and coordinated responses to national and international calls.
• Organize co-branded ecosystem events such as workshops, conferences, and seminars connecting startups with healthcare and industry stakeholders.
• Provide joint support for startups and SMEs through advisory services, partnership structuring, and ecosystem access.

Strategic Impact for Tunisia

• Strengthening Tunisia’s Digital Health and biotech project pipeline readiness
• Enhancing startup access to structured advisory and partnership frameworks
• Increasing participation in national and international innovation calls
• Building stronger bridges between research, industry, and entrepreneurship ecosystems
• Positioning Tunisia as a competitive hub for HealthTech and biotech collaboration

Next Steps

Following this agreement, both institutions will begin structuring joint working groups, mapping project opportunities, and launching coordinated ecosystem events to accelerate tangible impact across Digital Health and biotech domains.
