Tunisia's Export Promotion Center and the Confederation of Tunisian Citizen Enterprises (CONECT) have launched a joint coordination effort to open up new export markets for Tunisian businesses. This initiative is part of the preparations for the 2027 promotional program. The two organizations held a working session last week, chaired by the Center's General Manager, Mourad Ben Hussein, and CONECT's President, Arslan Ben Rjab.
The meeting reviewed the economic activities organized by CONECT, with a focus on exploring ways to utilize them to serve companies in international markets. The discussions centered on promising sectors with export potential, including financial technologies, information technology, engineering, healthcare, pharmaceutical industries, transportation, logistics, and maritime industries. These sectors are expected to help diversify Tunisia's export destinations.
The center stated that the talks also emphasized the importance of economic and commercial vigilance to help businesses anticipate the requirements of foreign markets. This involves providing updated data on statistics, trade agreements, and technical and administrative standards governing access to these markets. By doing so, Tunisian businesses can better prepare themselves for international competition.
The meeting also explored the possibility of linking Tunisian businesses' participation in economic events organized by CONECT, both locally and internationally, with the Export Promotion Center's promotional programs. The goal is to enhance integration among stakeholders and support the international expansion of Tunisian products and services.
The Export Promotion Center and CONECT aim to support Tunisian businesses in their international development. By working together, they can provide businesses with the necessary tools and resources to access new markets and increase their exports. This partnership is expected to boost Tunisia's economic growth and competitiveness.
The sectors identified as having export potential are expected to play a significant role in Tunisia's economic development. The pharmaceutical industry, for example, has been growing rapidly in recent years, with several Tunisian companies exporting their products to countries in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
The cooperation between the Export Promotion Center and CONECT is a positive step towards promoting Tunisian exports and supporting the country's economic growth. The two organizations will continue to work together to identify new opportunities and provide support to Tunisian businesses looking to expand their presence in international markets.
