At AIP, businesspeople learned about the business environment and investment opportunities in Tunisia

On February 13, 25 businesspeople from a wide range of sectors came to AIP to hear the Tunisian ambassador to Portugal, Naoufel Hdia, the director of the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency, Zied Lahbib, and the director of the Export Promotion Center, Mohamed Ikbel Khaldi, present business and investment opportunities in that Maghreb country. Rui Santos, CFO of the multinational Dual Borgastena, also shared his experience in the group's recent investment in Tunisia.

With Jorge Pais, vice-president of AIP, as host, the meeting aimed to provide a better understanding of the Tunisian economy and the potential for potential investments, and focused on presenting business opportunities in industrial sectors such as pharmaceuticals, the automotive industry, textiles, renewable energy and agri-food.

The participants in the meeting were also informed that AIP is preparing a business mission to Tunisia from 6 to 10 July, on the occasion of the International Agri-Food Fair "IFSA International Food Show Africa 2025", which will include visits to companies and previously scheduled B2B meetings. It should be noted that there is considerable room for growth in bilateral trade, as Tunisia is currently the 44th destination for Portuguese exports of goods, representing a share of 0.2%, and ranks 66th among Portugal's supplier countries, with a share of 0.05% of imports.
