Let’s keep up the good work.”
Mondher Merai
“So many people ask why Tunisia? In fact Tunisia is a country that is quite exceptional on the African continent. Tunisia provides more than 40,000 high quality computer engineers each year , and we are culturally close to Europe. And on the other hand, Tunisia is an African exception since big countries like South Africa or other countries with larger populations fail to produce this huge number of ICT graduates. We made the smart move.”
Samir Ben Zahra
“Tunisia has always been an obvious choice for me for many reasons. One of them is its geographical advantage on the market. All of those reasons have nothing to do with the fact that I am Tunisian. In fact, it’s position offers us a fast and good access to internet which is a very important asset. Tunisia is a great source of staffing and enrollment. If I can tell you one thing it is that Tunisia is the place to be right now, take it as an advice.”
