MISSIONS AND VISIONS

Founded in 2012, just after the revolution, the Laboratoire de l’Economie Social et Solidaire (Lab’ess) is an organization whose mission is to support the associative movement and back social entrepreneurship as a lever for solidarity-based, inclusive and sustainable development.

Lab’ess has been able to evolve and adapt to its context in order to work ever more effectively with change agents and multiply its impact.

Today, Lab’ess is present in Tunis, in the regions and also in MENA countries, raising awareness, supporting and financing all those who undertake projects in the general interest, through various innovative projects and programs.

Since its creation, Lab’ess has been an incubator operated by PULSE.
