Innovation takes center stage. As part of the AFRISTART Kenya Mission, a selection of Tunisian startups pitched their bold, tech-driven solutions in Nairobi through dynamic 3-minute elevator pitches — putting the energy and diversity of Tunisia's startup ecosystem in the spotlight.
From EdTech to fintech, agrotech, and beyond, the session brought together founders ready to show what Tunisian innovation looks like on an African stage.

Part of a Bigger Mission
This pitching session is part of AFRISTART, implemented by RedStart Tunisia in partnership with FIE Labs (Kenya) and Cinolu (DRC), under the Qawafel project, with the support of AFD — Agence Française de Développement and Expertise France.
AFRISTART is built on a simple conviction: Tunisian startups have what it takes to scale across Africa. Moments like this one — where founders stand before a room of investors, partners, and ecosystem players in Nairobi — are where that conviction becomes reality.
For EdTrust, pitching in Nairobi is not just an event. It is part of a deliberate journey toward the schools and families of East Africa.
