While in Djerba, Chargée d’Affaires Natasha Franceschi visited CoZi, the first coworking space in southern Tunisia, where she met with CEO Mohamed Ben Ghazi and a group of young Tunisian entrepreneurs, freelancers, and start-ups. The United States, through USAID, has helped Ghazi and his team expand CoZi as an incubation and acceleration hub for aspiring business leaders to help reinforce the entrepreneurial ecosystem in southern Tunisia!

Chargée Franceschi also hosted a lunch with established business leaders and start-up representatives to discuss opportunities for business investments where they are needed most.
