Program opportunities and eligibility

The mission highlighted several specific opportunities available at the SelectUSA Investment Summit. Eligible startups and early-stage companies can participate in SelectUSA Tech at a reduced registration rate, with options to showcase products or services and to enter a pitching competition judged by venture capitalists, corporate investors and industry experts. Women founders, entrepreneurs and executives are urged to apply for the SelectUSA Global Women in Tech (SGWIT) program, a year-long mentorship network that "kicks-off at the summit" and pairs global women tech leaders with experienced mentors from the U.S. startup ecosystem.

Context and practical notes

The SelectUSA Investment Summit is an established U.S. government event intended to promote foreign direct investment into the United States; the U.S. Mission Tunisia is actively encouraging Tunisian actors across sectors to apply. The embassy's communication also included routine consular guidance found on the site, with emergency contact numbers for Americans abroad: +1-202-501-4444 and +1-888-407-4747, underscoring the posting's origin on the official U.S. government platform.

While the announcement does not specify application deadlines or the exact cost savings for SelectUSA Tech reduced registration, it makes clear that selected startups can pursue pitching slots and that SGWIT offers a structured, year-long mentorship beginning at the summit. Tunisian companies interested in business development, investment or strategic partnerships in the United States are therefore encouraged to apply and to consult the linked resources for more detailed programme schedules and participation requirements.
