trash-clackamas-river-cleanupjpg-98f3b65de5b67a28TrashCash beat six other startups to emerge the winner of the Ampion Venture Bus Tunisia 2014 after the Grand Final at Tunisias most prestigious university ESPRIT.  TrashCash was followedby ExTails and Citizen+.

Founded by Asma Ayed, Hamza Barkaoui, Omar Trabelsi, TrashCash incentivizes proper disposal of trash and aims to start with smart bins in public spaces like train stations and universities to collect only cans and will become profitable by selling the scrap metal of the cans. Trash disposal in these cans will be rewarded with free mobile credit for the collector via a barcode scanner or a displayed bonus code (for non-smartphone users). The concept is highly scalable and the founders plan to expand their business for more material and in more locations once the concept has been well established.

XTails which came 2nd place was founded by Firas Aloui from Tunisia, Henning Jakob from Germany, Alaa Daoudi from USA and Musaab Ahmed and Kais Segni both from Tunisia.

XTails is a mobile application for international travelers providing custom tailored travel itineraries based on their preferences, budget and time – a special algorithm allows the app to learn from the users choices and improve its itineraries and suggestions in the future.
In the 3rd place was Citizen+ , a participatory online platform to enable better communication between citizens and municipalities as well as between citizens themselves. The platform allows citizens to emphasize local problems to the municipalities by tagging them on a map. The municipalities can use the platform for announcements, information distribution and to gather feedback. After the Arabic spring this startup provides the public of the young Tunisian democracy with a tool to speak up and make their voice count.

Citizen+ was founded by Kathrin Treutinger from Germany and Tunisia’s Ines Cheniour and Nesrine Souissi.

The AMPION Venture Bus Tunisia 2014 competition took place from December 14-19 and took aspiring Tunisian and international entrepreneurs to coaching sessions in Tunis, Kairouane, Tozeur, Gabes, Sfax and Hammamet.

On the road, the participants observed local problems, developed solutions, gathered feedback from potential customers and clients and worked together closely with experienced entrepreneurs who accompany the AMPION Venture Bus as mentors. Through the international and pan-African AMPION network the startups will be able to continuously gather feedback of successful serial entrepreneurs and mentors world-wide and refine their business models.
