In this episode, I sit with Faten Aissi, Director of Global Partnerships at Flat6Labs, one of the most influential startup accelerators in the MENA region and a key player in Tunisia’s innovation ecosystem.

Flat6Labs provides early-stage startups with funding, mentorship, and hands-on support to help them build, launch, and grow. In Tunisia, they’ve backed some of the country’s most promising ventures and continue to play a critical role in nurturing founders from idea to scale.

Faten shares how Flat6Labs is building global bridges for local founders, what true ecosystem support looks like beyond funding, and why Tunisia is uniquely positioned to produce globally competitive startups.
