About Back2Growth

Young Tunisians who take part in U.S. exchange programs usually develop a strong desire to achieve impact in their communities. Their drive and entrepreneurial profiles allow them to contribute to the circle of economic growth as job and wealth generators.

Incubation

The Back2Growth 6-month incubation program provided 10 Tunisian exchange program graduates from the U.S. with the opportunity to build and strengthen their entrepreneurial skills and guide them towards creating their own startups focused on sustainable solutions for different social problems.

“We‘re empowering a new generation of change-makers.”

– Alaa Aridhi, Head of Programmes, WSH Tunis
