The meeting also allowed for the validation of 77 files concerning priority technological investments, with a total value of approximately 6.6 million dinars, and subsidies reaching 1.77 million dinars. These investments aim to strengthen technological innovation within Tunisian enterprises, particularly those operating in strategic sectors for the national economy.
Finally, the meeting's agenda included a presentation on preparations for the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Industrial Qualification Program, scheduled for July 2025. This event will provide an opportunity to honor industrial enterprises that have successfully invested under this program and will present future orientations aimed at addressing the current challenges facing the industrial sector.
