The goal was to present the advantages of the Tunisian industrial ecosystem and open up collaboration opportunities with a recognized international innovator.
The discussions highlighted the strong potential of the Tunisian automotive sector, which relies on a network of exporting companies, a highly qualified workforce, and a strategic location between Europe and Africa. These arguments reinforce Tunisia's credibility as a competitive manufacturing platform.
