KPIT Technologies, a mobility software company, has inaugurated its new Software Engineering Center in Sfax, Tunisia, strengthening its presence in the EMEA region and reinforcing its commitment to innovation, talent development, and nearshore delivery for European automotive OEMs.
The opening event witnessed participation from senior dignitaries across Tunisia’s automotive ecosystem, including investment authorities, academia, and KPIT leadership. This marks a strategic milestone in KPIT’s global expansion journey to reimagine mobility with clean, smart, and safe technology solutions, mediabrief reports.
With the new center, KPIT aims to develop a Center of Excellence focused on advanced propulsion software, vehicle network development, validation, and other emerging domains in automotive technology. The Sfax facility is positioned to attract Tunisia’s top software talent and provide them with global opportunities in the mobility sector, the same source adds.
Anup Sable, CTO, KPIT Technologies, said, “Mobility leaders around the world are navigating complex transformations—dynamic trade environments, and the need to innovate at speed and scale while saving costs. Our new center in Tunisia will be developed as a center of excellence to drive innovation in propulsion software, vehicle network development, validation, and further expand in other domains. The center will also become strategic to deliver for European OEMs with location and timezone advantages for agility and scale.”
The Tunisia center will enhance KPIT’s ability to offer cutting-edge software, hardware design, and manufacturing engineering solutions, supporting the growing needs of its European client base. KPIT, which has worked with leading European mobility OEMs for over two decades, will now be better positioned to support clients in Germany, the UK, France, Italy, and other European markets, while integrating with its global delivery network across the USA, Germany, France, Japan, China, Thailand, and India.
