The talented entrepreneur combined tech tools and his experience in the event industry to offer an innovative solution to help event specialists in their work.

Haythem Dridi (photo) is the founder of the tech company Millesima Technologies. The Tunisian-born entrepreneur is a Mathematics and Physics graduate from the Faculty of Science of the University of Sfax, Tunisia. He is also a certified project manager.

Millesima Technologies, the startup he manages as the CEO, is a Startupact-certified Tunisian company. It specializes in data and on-demand video streaming. The startup launched in 2021 also offers face-to-face, hybrid and virtual solutions to event specialists.

In late 2022, it raised US$480,000 from private equity firm BH Equity to launch MYVIOO, a digital platform that allows firms and organizations to launch free or paid on-demand video and live-streaming channels that can be used as advertising spaces.

Haythem Dridi's entrepreneurial adventure began with the creation of Millesima Travel and Millesima Events in 2004. Millesima Travel is a licensed Tunisian travel agency specializing in  B2B hotel booking and business travel management.

Meanwhile, Millesima Events is an events agency based in Morocco and Tunisia.  The agency has already worked with 794 clients and organized 2,596 national, 60 overseas, and 150 virtual and hybrid events.

It is somehow the originator of Millesima Technologies, which was launched to allow it to continue its operations when the coronavirus pandemic forced a cessation of face-to-face events.
