The event will have a hybrid format consisting of the following sessions:

A morning session organised online (English language) via Zoom, in which synergies and clustering activities with ongoing initiatives will be shown, in order to foster innovation ecosystems in Tunisia and beyond, creating better linkages between academia, business and government.

An afternoon session, organised in presence in Tunisia (by invitation only, French language), where local stakeholders will have the possibility to visit the FASTER Exhibition presenting the main outputs and findings of the project.
