Jun 30, 2025
đ ExpanâAfrica Immersive Days â Heading for Mauritania!
đ A bridge between the continent's talents
The first two days of the mission in Nouakchott were rich in encounters, discoveries, and prospects for cooperation for the Tunisian delegation supported by ConnectâInnov, as part of the ExpanâAfrica program.
The mission began with a visit to the Tunisian Embassy, where the delegation was warmly welcomed by Mr. Hilali, ChargĂ© dâAffaires ad interim, and then continued at the Ministry of Health, with a structured discussion with the Secretary General and her colleagues on the country's major health priorities and opportunities for alignment with Tunisian innovation.
The participants then visited the Specialty Hospital Center, which specializes in head, neck, and musculoskeletal pathologies. This visit highlighted concrete needs that the solutions of the supported companies could address. The day concluded with a meeting with the Kennedy Pharmacy, which shared the reality of local market dynamics.
The second day provided an opportunity to deepen understanding of the challenges of access to care and equipment. The delegation was welcomed by the team from CAMEC, the Central Purchasing Agency for Medicines and Medical Equipment, for a discussion focused on supply chains and public health needs.
Two major private institutions, the Ennasr Clinic and the Medicaire MSS Clinic, then opened their doors to present their activities, their development ambitions, and potential avenues for collaboration with startups and innovative organizations. Finally, the day concluded with a meeting with the Union of Young Mauritanian Entrepreneurs, an opportunity to explore the convergences between the entrepreneurial ecosystems of the two countries.
đ A huge thank you to all our hosts for their welcome, their availability, and the quality of the discussions. đ Stay tuned for upcoming highlights of the mission!
