The Role of Startups in Developing National Economy (A Legal Approach)

This study aims to highlight the critical role that startups fulfill in enhancing and diversifying the national economy, particularly through their capacity to develop innovative products and services that support sustainable development and generate added value outside the hydrocarbons sector. Recent developments in the Algerian context have illustrated a clear and deliberate political inclination toward formalizing this entrepreneurial model. This orientation is reflected in the establishment of a ministry dedicated to the knowledge economy and startups, as well as the implementation of a comprehensive support system. This system encompasses incubators, a startup support and development fund, and tax incentives integrated into the finance laws. Additionally, public authorities have undertaken efforts to create a legal and regulatory framework that is favorable to technological investment. Such a framework is designed to empower young individuals to transform their ideas into economically viable projects with tangible societal and economic impact. These initiatives contribute to steering the national economy toward a knowledge-based development paradigm.
