US Ambassador hands over BridgeTech platform management to AmCham Tunisia

U.S. Ambassador to Tunisia, Bill Bazzi, officially transferred the management of the "BridgeTech" platform to the American Chamber of Commerce in Tunisia (AmCham) on Monday. This U.S.-funded initiative serves as a vital link, connecting American companies with a rich pool of qualified Tunisian professionals, innovative startups, and university graduates.

This initiative will also contribute to strengthening employability and developing pools of Tunisian talent that meet the needs of American companies active in the digital economy sector.

The BridgeTech platform is designed to streamline the process of recruiting talent, identifying potential business partners, and discovering new avenues for growth for American enterprises operating in or looking to expand into Tunisia. By facilitating these connections, the platform aims to foster mutually beneficial economic, technological, and innovation partnerships between the two nations.

Ambassador Bazzi emphasized the initiative's significance, describing it as "excellent and promising." He highlighted that both Tunisian graduates and startups, as well as U.S. companies, stand to benefit. The platform is expected to enhance employability and cultivate a pipeline of Tunisian talent that meets the demands of U.S. companies in the digital economy sector. This, he added, will ensure access to a skilled workforce tailored to market needs, thereby supporting competitiveness and economic growth.

“

I encourage American companies, as well as AmCham members, to actively use this platform to identify recruitment opportunities, forge new commercial collaborations, and develop innovation partnerships with Tunisian talent and startups.

Bazzi urged American companies and AmCham members to actively utilize the platform to identify recruitment opportunities, forge new commercial collaborations, and develop innovation partnerships with Tunisian talent and startups. He believes BridgeTech will deepen economic relations and create shared prosperity. Marouane Ben Jemaa, president of AmCham, echoed this sentiment, noting that both Tunisian President Kaïs Saïed and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump advocate for stronger trade relations, a goal AmCham actively supports. He described the platform as a bridge between the two countries, launched through the joint initiative of the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia and the Tunisian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
