Introduction to Thouraya Group
Our conviction is simple: project performance directly relies on team competence. Many failures in technological projects do not come from tools, but from a lack of alignment or skill development. This is why we encourage companies to invest sustainably in their human resources, as they determine the success of transformations, according to Thouraya Sboui, founder of Thouraya Group, dedicated to training, consulting, and supporting organizations.
Creating Bridges between Companies, Experts, and Talents
Thouraya Group's mission is to intervene at the triple level of Advisory, Audit, and Structuring of architectures, with the goal of strengthening the technical skills of professionals while supporting companies in their cloud strategies, security challenges, and digital transformations. As a cloud and cybersecurity architect, international consultant at Microsoft, certified Azure Security Engineer Associate at Microsoft, former university teacher, lecturer, and trainer in cloud and cybersecurity, Thouraya Sboui helps IT executives and engineers develop their profiles to become, for example, solid and recognized cloud computing consultants.
Expertise and Mission
"I help consultants adopt a responsible posture in their careers, continuing to train and evolve to remain aligned with market expectations, particularly in areas of strong evolution such as cloud and cybersecurity," she affirms. She leads both the training/consulting/accompanying aspect and the operational skills reinforcement aspect. However, her involvement is broader: "My role is also to contribute to creating bridges between different actors - companies, experts, and talents - through knowledge sharing and skill development to gradually strengthen the local ecosystem. I am also open to consulting and exchanging with other experts, particularly on cloud transformation strategies, beyond the Azure ecosystem."
Democratizing Access to Technological Skills
While the evolution of technologies is very rapid, starting with AI, what is her recipe for democratizing access to technological skills in Tunisia and North Africa? "My area of expertise is cloud and cybersecurity. In this context, artificial intelligence is above all an accelerator that we use to improve and optimize cloud and cybersecurity services, but our core value remains architecture and supporting organizations," she specifies.
A Cloud Ecosystem for Tomorrow in Tunisia
Hence the idea of the very first Cloud Summit in Tunisia, probably in September 2026. An unprecedented event dedicated to the challenges of cloud computing, which, according to Thouraya Sboui, will certainly change the situation by contributing to positioning Tunisia as an emerging hub in the regional technological ecosystem. On one condition: "In this context, it is essential to strengthen access to experimentation environments and infrastructure, whether through companies, technological partners, or public initiatives." Designed as a meeting and exchange space, this summit aims to bring together national and international experts, decision-makers, and enthusiasts around current technological transformations; with the goal of creating opportunities, fostering synergies, and allowing a new generation of talents to access international standards in terms of cloud skills.
Call to Action
To launch the idea, Thouraya Sboui proposes a link to a digital form addressed to all those who - among startups, speakers, observers, partners - feel interested in this new visibility factor: "I believe in win-win relationships, the need to put the points on the 'i', the importance of exposing cloud challenges, and the opportunity that the Cloud Summit offers to the Tunisian ecosystem."
