The SME investment fund TunInvest Croissance (TIC) project – through investment in a Tunisian fund –makes it possible to promote innovative Tunisian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by providing them with equity capital. As part of the investments, the fund also actively supports the management of the SMEs and helps them to grow and transition from family-run businesses to public limited companies. It is also intended to give SMEs, which do not yet have sufficient equity capital, access to the capital market.
