Startup Testimonials

Bargme (Improv)

Cette expérience a été extrêmement enrichissante. Sur le plan personnel, elle m’a permis de développer mon esprit entrepreneurial et d'explorer davantage le domaine de l'innovation. J’ai pu acquérir de nouvelles compétences, élargir ma vision et renforcer ma capacité à anticiper les défis et les opportunités propres au monde des affaires. Sur le plan de notre startup, cette expérience nous a permis d’établir un réseau solide avec des acteurs clés du secteur des assurances. Grâce à ces échanges, nous avons pu mieux comprendre les besoins du marché algérien et les principaux défis auxquels les compagnies d'assurance font face. Cela a également renforcé notre capacité à concevoir des solutions plus pertinentes et adaptées aux réalités locales.
