Amza Ventures has announced its first-ever investment in WaterSec, a Tunisian technology startup tackling one of the region’s most urgent challenges, water scarcity. The partnership, which brings together two purpose-driven teams, represents more than just financial support. It marks a new step in Tunisia’s journey toward sustainable, technology-powered water management.
Water scarcity remains one of the most pressing issues across Tunisia and the wider MENA region. Climate change, rapid urbanization and inefficient water use continue to put pressure on already limited resources. Amza Ventures, a Tunisian seed fund created to empower local innovation, made it clear that its first investment had to focus on real solutions that create lasting impact. WaterSec was the perfect match for that vision.
WaterSec was founded by five young engineers who shared a common goal: to use technology to help solve Tunisia’s water crisis. The founding team includes Mohamed Guenbri, Project Manager; Yasmine Ben Miloud, Marketing Manager; Slim Bouakez, Business Development Manager; Zoubeir Zarrouk, Technical Manager and Khoubeib Tlili, Software Manager. Together, they decided to address water scarcity through a data-driven approach.
Using the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), WaterSec has developed a real-time water monitoring solution that allows individuals and businesses to track and optimize their water use. The system collects and analyzes data to help users detect leaks, identify inefficiencies and reduce waste. By giving people insight into their consumption, WaterSec encourages responsible habits that can significantly ease pressure on the region’s water supply.
Amza Ventures’ investment in WaterSec is based on shared values and a common vision of progress. The collaboration is more than an investment, it is a youth-to-youth partnership that demonstrates how Tunisian innovation can tackle global challenges. Both organizations believe in the power of young entrepreneurs to build solutions that are not only profitable but also socially and environmentally meaningful.
WaterSec’s vision is to promote a more responsible approach to water consumption and improve water-use efficiency across the region. Its mission is to make sustainability practical through technology. The company’s IoT and AI-based system gives users real-time information about their water usage, empowering them to take control of their consumption and make data-informed decisions.
For Amza Ventures, this first investment is a clear statement of intent. As a seed fund dedicated to empowering Tunisian startups, Amza focuses on supporting founders who are building scalable solutions that have measurable impact. By investing in WaterSec, the fund is reinforcing its commitment to strengthening Tunisia’s startup ecosystem, providing capital, mentorship and guidance to help young innovators grow and expand.
This collaboration also highlights a positive shift in Tunisia’s entrepreneurship landscape. More startups are emerging with ideas that combine technology, sustainability and social purpose. Partnerships like this show how investing in innovation can generate a ripple effect, creating jobs, strengthening industries and promoting long-term resilience.
For Tunisia and the broader MENA region, the partnership between Amza Ventures and WaterSec represents a beacon of hope. With Amza’s support, WaterSec can expand its reach, improve its technology and scale its solutions to serve communities and industries across borders.
As the WaterSec team puts it, their mission is to turn belief into action “one drop at a time.” By blending technical expertise with a deep sense of responsibility, they are showing that young Tunisians have the creativity and determination to build a more sustainable future.
