The Startup’s Label In The Algerian Legislation: A Critical Analytical Approach

Authors : Belkacem Belarbi .

Abstract

Abstract: This study critically analyzes the legal regime of the "Startup Label" in Algeria, specifically Executive Decree No. 20-254 and its amendments (21-422 and 25-311). Adopting a descriptive-analytical approach, the research evaluates the legislative shift from a static definition to a performance-based model, highlighted by the new "Scale-up" category. The analysis reveals persisting ambiguities regarding the legal nature of the Labeling Committee and support bodies like Algeria Venture. It concludes that while the ecosystem is successfully institutionalized, substantive reforms in judicial review and terminological consistency are essential for full legal efficacy.
