On 16 April, the German industrial group Zollner Elektronik AG, Europe’s leading manufacturer of electronic components, announced an investment of more than 51 million dinars in Tunisia, in a high-tech project at NOVATION CITY in Sousse.
According to Markus Aschenbrenner, the new 11-hectare project aims to create around 3,400 jobs by 2030. It is part of the Group’s growth strategy in North Africa, with a focus on advanced technologies in the fields of automotive electronics, aeronautics and the digital industry.
