Are you interested in commercializing your idea or invention and creating a business? Do you live in IEEE Region 8 (Africa, Europe, Middle East), and would you like to learn how to be an entrepreneur?

Now you have a chance to apply to this IEEE Entrepreneurship workshop co-sponsored with IEEE Region 8 and the IEEE Tunisia Section on making the world a better place. This workshop is for STEM people whose ideas support the UN-Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs).

We are looking for interested participants who will work in teams to develop their ideas and then pitch to judges via a ten-minute video they develop. The winning team will get a prize.

The workshop will be held in Gammarth, Tunis, Tunisia, starting on 25 August and ending on 27 August. The in-person event will be preceded by two virtual meet-ups in the weeks prior to the workshop to solicit ideas and form teams of approximately five people each. In these teams, you will work to develop your pitch deck and video.

Once in Gammarth, participants will learn about topics including taking an idea to market, creating a lean business model canvas, traditional and digital marketing, value proposition, finances, intellectual property, contracts and negotiation, leadership soft skills, and more. Guest speakers will include experts on local investment opportunities, local entrepreneurial success stories, and more. Participants will also receive mentoring from a team of experienced inventors and entrepreneurs.

Application / Registration Deadline for application: 09 July 2025.
