The Export Promotion Centre in Tunisia is organizing bilateral professional meetings between Tunisian and Iraqi companies on November 23, 2026, at the Maison de l'Entreprise in Tunis. The event, starting at 10 am, is being held in collaboration with the Tunisian Embassy in Baghdad and its office in Jordan. This initiative aims to identify new export opportunities, enhance trade exchange, and develop sustainable partnerships between Tunisia and Iraq.

The meetings will bring together Tunisian companies and Iraqi buyers, focusing on various sectors such as food and agricultural products, including olive oil, dates, and food preparations. Other areas of interest include construction materials like ceramics, sanitary equipment, electrical products, and renewable energy equipment. The goal is to promote trade and investment between the two countries.

Tunisian companies interested in participating in these meetings must confirm their participation by November 16, 2026, via a designated link. The Export Promotion Centre's initiative primarily targets the food and agricultural sectors, as well as products related to health, construction, and renewable energy. This event presents an opportunity for Tunisian businesses to expand their export base and establish partnerships with Iraqi companies.

The bilateral meetings will also cover other areas, including digital solutions, chemical products, and pharmaceuticals. Start-ups and companies offering digital solutions, such as software development and e-management, will also be in attendance. This diversification of sectors aims to strengthen economic ties between Tunisia and Iraq.

According to the Export Promotion Centre, these meetings are expected to boost trade exchange and create new opportunities for Tunisian exporters. The centre's efforts are focused on supporting Tunisian businesses in their international expansion, particularly in emerging markets like Iraq. By promoting exports, the centre aims to contribute to Tunisia's economic growth.

The Tunisian-Iraqi bilateral professional meetings are part of a broader strategy to enhance economic cooperation between the two countries. This event follows other initiatives, such as the Tunisian-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry's training session on commercial practices and negotiation techniques. Tunisia is also participating in international trade events, like the Libya International Construction Exhibition in Tripoli.

The upcoming meetings between Tunisian and Iraqi companies reflect Tunisia's commitment to expanding its trade relationships and exploring new markets. With a focus on various sectors, including food, construction, and renewable energy, these bilateral meetings have the potential to unlock new export opportunities and strengthen economic ties between Tunisia and Iraq.
