Operating as an enterprise fund created to catalyse the Tunisian private sector following the 2011 Jasmine Revolution, TAEF's core investment strategy focuses on providing patient growth equity, quasi-equity mezzanine instruments, private debt, and seed capital across the entire life cycle of Tunisian micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
