Tunisia is set to welcome a major new continental platform with the official launch of the African Technology & Expertise Expo (Atex), scheduled to take place from April 6 to 8, 2027, at the Palais des Congrès in Tunis. Spearheaded by the Tunisia Africa Business Council (TABC) and the Tunisia Consortium for African Development (TUCAD), the event aims to establish a premier pan-African gathering dedicated to services, technological innovation, and professional expertise.
Conceived as a strategic convergence point for African and international economic stakeholders, the expo will spotlight cutting-edge technological solutions and specialized skill sets required to support the continent’s vast development infrastructure. The scope of the event spans multiple critical sectors, including infrastructure, energy, digitalization, industry, healthcare, water management, telecommunications, finance, and the modernization of public administrations.
Addressing a Surging Demand for Engineering and Consulting
As Africa accelerates the rollout of transformative projects, Atex 2027 directly targets an escalating demand for engineering, consultancy, innovation, and skills transfer across the region. Organizers anticipate robust participation from service enterprises, expert consultancies, tech firms, investors, financial institutions, and government bodies, all eager to tap into the burgeoning opportunities generated by Africa’s mega-projects.
Elevating Tunisian and Homegrown African Know-How
Beyond its economic impact, the fair is strategically designed to showcase Tunisian and African expertise in pivotal domains such as agriculture, tourism, education, health, information and communication technology (ICT), and financial services. By curating these capabilities, the event seeks to firmly consolidate Tunisia’s standing as a regional hub for technological and expert solutions serving the broader continent.
Championing South-South Cooperation
With this new annual rendezvous, the organizers are championing a robust South-South cooperation dynamic built on partnership, co-construction, and reciprocal skills-sharing. The ultimate ambition is to nurture and elevate a new generation of African champions—homegrown players fully equipped to sustainably steer the continent’s ongoing economic transformation.
