The agreement between the two parties was reached during a working visit by Yacine El-Mahdi Oualid as part of the partnership in innovation and promotion of startups between the two countries. The objective is to open new business opportunities for Algerian startups in foreign markets, especially Europe, and access to African markets for Italian investors via Algeria.
