    Tunisia: More High Tech in 2016

    Mr. Afif Chelbi, Minister of Industry, Energy and SMEs who was speaking Thursday as part of the 11th edition of the forum of Carthage Investment has provided insights into the industrial strategy on the horizon 2016, which proposes to make Site Tunisia, a Mediterranean industrial hub.

    The priority areas that boost now Tunisian industry will be the emerging sectors: ICT, automotive and aerospace components to ensure that in 2016 more than half of industrial production, that is to say as much as traditional mining sectors, industries food.

    Special mention for the aviation industry, numbering about forty companies, for the French majority, represents a real potential to seize. Tunisia aims to position themselves at the regional level thanks to the actions of the group of Tunisian industries aerospace (GITAS). Alongside the positive development of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the electrical, electronic and mechanical, Tunisia has the ambition to become a center of regional excellence in industrial engineering.

    Many international High Tech companies are already present. Following the example of Franco-Italian ST Microelectronics and the French company Sagem, which each have a center that employs hundreds of engineers and managers Tunisian. It is also an example of the German company Siemens, the Japanese firm Yamaichi Electronics and the French company Actielec.

    Does that mean, the next electronics you buy, will say "Made in Tunisia"? That would be the day!

    The Tunisian Institute of Statistics' latest data peg the country's 2008 unemployment rate at 21.67%, up from 17.5% in 2007.

    In Tunisia, which has foreign exchange reserves of around $10 billion, lawmakers are calling for the creation of a national fund to help unemployment, according to a report by Magharebia, a website sponsored by the United States Africa Command.

    How democratic is Tunisia? or does it have strongman rule, like Libya, or are its institutions stronger?

    Here is something on Libya:

    "... The number of foreign businesses working in Libya has grown during the past five years, because of good opportunities and Libya's international political rehabilitation. However, doing business in Libya remains subject to the risk of arbitrary political interference ...

    The Revolutionary Committees Movement (in effect the ruling party) and other beneficiaries of the system of government status quo tend to be suspicious of reforms.

    Qadhafi's character and unchallenged authority, and Libyan officials' deference to him, mean that there is always a risk that a particular policy will be reversed at short notice or temporarily, and without public explanation. Also, official approval on a matter does not rule out subsequent disagreements. ..."

    Hi Shadow:
    I watched a CNN special on Tunisia's progress in entering the 21 century and was impressed. They are putting money into higher education and already have some high tech industries competing in global markets with quality as well as price. For example, they make some parts in every Boeing 737 and write software now "imbedded" in products of some western firms.

    Next day by edit: I saw part of the CNN Tunisia program again. - This time I noted the name of the company making parts of the fuel injector for the 737s. It is "Eurocast." They probably have a web page, but I did not look for it.

    What is the future of Tunisia

    Tunisia toaday,
    is one of the best arab contries,
    and the first of them among the life style, and pleasure of life,
    also, tunisia toadya, have an imporatant industries,
    chemical and biological earth-fertilizers, Phosphate, and it's the first ranking in the world, and it's supposed to be a very imprtant industrual hub by 2016, also among the first ankings in the world in producing olive oil, also aerospace industries, like airbus, (tunisia's economy toaday, is, about 30percent industries, 30percent agriculture, and also about 40 percent tourism)
    http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/international/2010/02/05/mme.b.tunisia.high.tech.cnn?iref=allsearch
    there's a fault in this video, Tunisia is not in the middle east, it's in north africa, and it's a medeterrenian contry, you can say african, cause it's in africa
    Tunisia first and native language is arabic(maghreb dilacte) also the fus'ha arabic(the arabic that you elarn it at schools, the official arabic) , second french, third, english, then it comes spanish, or italian, or gearman, or chinese, and others, it's because of the very active tourism,
    Tunisia concentrate more on education, and health, Tunisian people are well educated, and very open,
    Tunisia main relegion is islamic, there's also, chritianity, and jews,
    jews come each year to an island in Tunisia "Djerba" to do some kind of relegion stuff,
    Tunisia is a liberal islamic contry, women are free to wear anything if you thight that they are forced, also women have a very important place in our society, women are ecaule to men, go to work, study, have fun, play sports,
    also, tunisia is attached to it's roots and it's culture,
    tunisia had many civlisations, carthage, roman, arabic, and other's...

    anyway, Tunisia toaday, have a dozen of projects from u.a.e. in tunisia, on the tunisian style, also other local big projects of tourism,
    communication survices is growing every day, widly fast, now tunisia have 3 telephone lines, soon a company for international phone calls, the internet debate is dobled each year, for free, the internet started to be avaible in every house, about 3 years ago, and know, almost everyone have an internet, and a facebook account,

    ,recently, also, there are some other comment projects, betwwen algeria, tunisia, libya, moroco, hoping to united the maghreb, toaday, there is a maghreb union, but those contries, are not yet united economicly and politicly, i think it will take a while, but hostings and programs between these contries, are increasing, also, there's a medeterrenian union, for the medeterrenian contries, north africa, (the maghreb contries) also, france, spain, and italy, tunisia have a project to build an underwater tunnel between it and italy, moroco, also have a project of tunnel, underwater, between it, and spain,

    To Shaddow1:
    mod hatI have merged your thread about Tunisia's future into this one. DO NOT START MULTIPLE TUNISIA THREADS. - CONSIDER THIS A WARNING.
    (I have not yet learned how to warn you officially.)

    I also deleted your two informative links from another thread. That is "double posting" and spam.

    I think you need to at least skim post 1 of: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=97175

    As you are new and your SPAM is not for personal gain, I am going easy on you. Abuse Sciforums, and much more will disappear.

    Shadow, Tunisia sounds good yup. Investments have been flooding these developing countries.

    The hype you are describing, is the same kind of hype that creates bubbles. If investment quickly retreats back to Dollars / US / Europe, there will probably be a few bubbles popped.

    I wonder how high real estate prices are in Tunisia etc.

    Currency is interesting:

    to be one of the developed world in 2010, no, we're not that close, i think that would be in 2016, the industrual big boom,
    education, i'm 15, i speak arabic as a native language, french second, english, some japanese, and i'm going to learn italien next year,
    i'm at secondary science class, in hight school,
    the money, we use the tunisian dinars, Dt.
    the american dollar u.s. dollar= 1dt.300
    one euro=1dt.800
    1dt=1X36 in india,
    in malysia, X 22
    in egypt and moroco, X 5
    in tueky, X 2
    and france's original money, 1dt= X 3 in france, but illegal there, cause they use euro, so, 1 euro=1dt.800
    and no, i don't live in a costal city, i live in Kairouan, it's the arbaic and islamic culture capital of the arab world this year, there are many developements, and upgates in the urban areas, most in the new city, not teh old one.

    about not allowing to take money out, you can, but just some coins for souvenir, but no money papers, it's to keep the sunstable developement, and for not affecting bad on the economy, if people started to take Dts out, don't you think, that after soem time, it will make some, problems to the economy, not serious problems, but they can slow down the growth, after all,
    so, it's not allowed, also, that cause Tunisia, is a very rich contry, true, that most of the population is a middle-class, there is no homeless in tunisia, inless his wife kicked him out of the house, lol, also, every body elp each other, poor peopel, always get help, soem times from goverment, and the most is from the other people, people senc each other soem food, or some money if they needed it, so, you will never be alone, in tunisia, kids, don't leave home at 18, they stay there, unless they get married, or went to study in an other city, or other contry,
