A 3-day training and mentoring programme (July 12-14, 2023) will be organised for Tunisian entrepreneurs interested in water, energy, and food technologies and innovations, as part of the European project "Technology Transfer and Capitalisation of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus" (WEF-CAP). Twelve participants from university technical teams or startups will benefit from advanced capacity-building services and support to enable them to bring their innovative products to the market through spin-offs, startups, or technology transfers. They will also have individual meetings with experts, mentors, and investors. Selected participants will be eligible for grants to travel abroad and attend networking events in European countries. A conference will also be organised by the National Agency for Environmental Protection, the national partner of the project, from July 26 to 28, 2023 in Tunis. It will bring together key stakeholders in the water, energy, and food sectors. The European project "WEF-CAP" was launched in September 2021 in 7 Mediterranean countries, namely Tunisia, Jordan, Greece, Italy, Spain, Egypt, and France, and will close at the end of August 2023. Its aim is to consolidate a regional meta-group on water, energy, and food, promoting the replication, exploitation, and commercialisation of technologies and their transfer to increase the resilience of territories.
