The French-Tunisian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is set to organize the third edition of its financing meeting in Tunis on November 5, 2026. The event will bring together financial institutions, banks, donors, and investors, as well as several project holders. The meeting aims to facilitate access to financing sources for institutions through direct meetings, experience sharing, and introducing financing criteria and mechanisms.
The event's program includes two roundtable discussions on the expectations of funders, project evaluation criteria, available financing mechanisms, and best practices for preparing comprehensive financing requests. Additionally, bilateral business meetings will be organized through a dedicated platform, allowing institutions to showcase their projects, define their financing needs, and connect with participating institutions.
The participating institutions will have the opportunity to engage in discussions with funders and explore potential financing options for their projects. Funders will study and confirm meeting requests based on the nature of the projects and their areas of intervention. The event is exclusively open to institutions affiliated with the French-Tunisian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The financing meeting is part of a series of events aimed at promoting economic cooperation between Tunisia and France. Recently, Tunisia hosted the Mediterranean Forum for International Trade, which brought together over 60 financial institutions and companies from eight countries. The forum provided a platform for discussions on trade and investment opportunities in the region.
In a related development, the Central Bank of Tunisia's governor has called for a shift from Arab financial cooperation to joint protection against shocks. The governor's statement highlights the need for innovative approaches to addressing economic challenges in the region. Meanwhile, the city of Gabes is set to host an investment day on October 7-8, 2026, to promote investment opportunities and support project initiators.
Tunisia has been recognized for its expertise in producing and exporting dates, with plans to expand this experience to other markets and countries. The country's economic development is expected to benefit from increased investment and cooperation with international partners. The financing meeting organized by the French-Tunisian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is a significant step in this direction.
The upcoming financing meeting is expected to provide valuable insights into the financing landscape for Tunisian institutions and facilitate connections with potential funders. With its focus on promoting economic cooperation and facilitating access to financing, the event is poised to contribute to Tunisia's economic growth and development.
