Past Events

Abdelbasset Ghanmi, Chairman of the Tunisian Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA) joined our Asia and Africa Committee meeting on 9 March to discuss business and investment opportunities in Tunisia. Due to historical ties, over 80% of the Tunisia's trade and investment is with Europe, but the country is expanding its business relationships with other regions, in particular Southeast Asia and North America.

Ghanmi explained that Tunisia was well known for its innovation and technology sector, consistently topping the charts of North Africa for scientific and technical articles and possessing the continent's best information and communication technology infrastructure. The country's digital sector is valued at €3 billion and growing at over 7% per year. He said other opportunities in sectors such as the textiles, packaging, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, and medical tourism were also growing rapidly. Members interested in Tunisia are welcome to contact the secretariat for more information.
