Tunisia has signed a new public-private partnership (PPP) agreement aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of its electronics industry, as the country looks to scale its role in regional and global technology supply chains.
The pact brings together government bodies and private sector stakeholders to support industrial development through improved infrastructure, skills development, and investment in advanced manufacturing capabilities. The initiative is designed to enhance productivity, attract foreign investment, and position Tunisia as a more competitive destination for electronics production.
Key focus areas include workforce upskilling, innovation support, and the adoption of modern technologies to improve efficiency across the value chain. By aligning public policy with private sector execution, the partnership aims to address structural challenges and unlock growth opportunities within the sector.
Tunisia has been actively pursuing industrial diversification, with electronics identified as a strategic segment due to its potential for export growth and integration into global markets. Strengthening this sector is also expected to create employment opportunities and drive broader economic development.
The agreement reflects a wider trend across North Africa, where governments are leveraging PPP models to accelerate industrial modernisation and enhance competitiveness in technology-driven sectors.
Editor’s Note:
Tunisia’s PPP approach highlights how industrial policy is evolving to support tech-enabled manufacturing sectors. Electronics competitiveness is increasingly tied to skills, infrastructure, and integration into global supply chains across North Africa.
