In this paper, we present a discussion or a viewpoint regarding the importance and role of academic end-of-studies projects for the Start-up Initiative adopted by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to contribute to the valorization of by-products from the agri-food industries in Algeria due to their economic and environmental importance, and considering them as an available and low-cost basis for students wishing to engage in entrepreneurship and create micro-enterprises or start-up enterprises. We also note some specific opinions that could improve this initiative.
