A Quality Infrastructure adapted to MEEI
Tunisia provides an infrastructure that meets international standards while responding to the requirements of MEEI:
-
a competitiveness cluster in Sousse, dedicated to the MEEI sector, and more particularly to mechatronics (55 ha), an off-shoring area specializing in services (48 ha) and a multisectoral industrial area (142ha),
-
a training center for aerospace trades in El Mghira which also includes Technology Platforms in sectorial training centres,
-
a Technical Center specializing in Electrical and Mechanical Industries (CETIME),
-
a research center in microelectronics and nanotechnology,
-
4,500 engineers and senior technicians graduate every year,
-
8 engineering schools,
-
an engineering school specializing in mechatronics and electronics,
-
36 sectorial training centres in 14 governorates.
Adoption of a Promotional Strategy for the Sector
MEEI in Tunisia adopted a strategy to promote the sector targeting the rise of the industry and the implementation of structuring technology projects.
More specifically, Tunisia already set the wheels in motion to :
-
adapt skills to the specific needs of the sector (technical training and language training);
-
develop sectors with high added value (precision mechanics, mechatronics, electronics, embedded systems, engineering plastics, composites ...);
-
reinforce investment in quality, R & D and innovation;
-
strengthen the work in synergy in technology clusters (industry, higer education institutions, research laboratories ...);
-
upgrade the structures supporting sector.
