In a bold move to foster innovation and competitiveness, 60 Algerian startups have just commenced a groundbreaking learning expedition. The Algerian Startup Learning Expedition Program (ASEP) aims to connect these budding entrepreneurs with leading global technology hubs, providing them with invaluable insights and experiences.

The two delegations, each comprising 30 startups, are traversing China and South Korea, visiting 18 strategic locations. Their itinerary includes interactions with industry leaders, exchanges with international startups, and exploration of collaboration opportunities.

ASEP, spearheaded by the Algerian presidency and implemented by the public accelerator Algeria Venture, is a significant step towards supporting the country’s burgeoning startup ecosystem. By participating in this program, startups gain access to international markets, forge strategic partnerships, and enhance their global competitiveness.

“These visits will offer startups a global perspective, allowing them to draw inspiration from international best practices,” said Sidali Zerrouki, CEO of Algeria Venture. The program’s emphasis on fostering strategic partnerships and integrating innovative ideas is expected to have a profound impact on the participating companies’ development.
