The Centre de Promotion des Exportations (CEPEX) is organizing the Tuniso-Senegalese Digital Meetings in Dakar from December 15 to 19, 2026. This event targets Tunisian companies and start-ups operating in digital activities, cybersecurity, digital transformation, GovTech, Fintech, e-commerce, e-health, and EdTech. The mission aims to present Tunisia's digital offer to Senegalese decision-makers and procurement officers.
The CEPEX mission seeks to facilitate B2B meetings between Tunisian enterprises and potential Senegalese partners and clients. It also aims to identify local partners for integration, distribution, co-development, and representation. Additionally, the mission will allow Tunisian companies to immerse themselves in the Senegalese ecosystem through the SIPEN fair and institutional visits. Interested Tunisian enterprises can register via a provided link before September 30, 2026.
The Senegalese market is considered strategic for Tunisian digital enterprises, according to the CEPEX. Senegal has embarked on an ambitious digital transformation, as outlined in its "New Deal Technologique 2025-2034" roadmap. The country aims to digitally integrate public services, enhance its digital sovereignty, and develop its start-up ecosystem.
Senegal has a significant online presence, with over 11.5 million internet users and a penetration rate of nearly 61%. The country also boasts 4G coverage of around 85% and a mature fintech sector. Furthermore, Senegal's entrepreneurial ecosystem is experiencing rapid growth, making it an attractive market for Tunisian digital enterprises.
The Tuniso-Senegalese Digital Meetings will enable Tunisian companies to capitalize on Senegal's growing demand for digital services. By participating in this event, Tunisian enterprises can expand their customer base, establish partnerships, and increase their visibility in the Senegalese market.
The CEPEX initiative aligns with Tunisia's efforts to promote its digital sector and enhance its economic cooperation with neighboring countries. By supporting Tunisian digital enterprises, the CEPEX aims to contribute to the country's economic growth and development.
The upcoming event is expected to strengthen economic ties between Tunisia and Senegal, fostering cooperation in the digital sector. As the two countries continue to develop their digital ecosystems, this mission is poised to create new opportunities for collaboration and mutual growth.
