Glovo ventured into the Tunisian tech ecosystem from Spain. And Tech216 accompanied them on their journey. The app-based delivery service wanted to conquer the Tunisian market and open a branch here. Tech216’s nearshoring service was the support the Spanish tech company needed, to find new IT experts to start a Tunisian team. With our legal advice and workspaces at the innovation hub The Dot, the first step was easy: Glovo set up a new team in Tunisia, which now consists of almost 30 employees and is constantly growing. 💬 “Soft landing allowed us to better understand the Tunisian digital ecosystem,” concludes Adna Lachheb, Public Affairs, Francophone Africa. #Tunisia #Nearshoring #Technology #BMZ #InvestforJobs #Tech216 Invest for Jobs - Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition"

When Maher AMARA was asked, what his advice for European companies considering investment projects in Africa was, this was part of his answer. And it resonated with us. 💡 By facilitating collaboration between the Tunisian tech ecosystem and European companies, Tech216 bridges borders and promotes the transfer of knowledge. A two-way street that benefits all. 👀 We believe that everyone interested in outsourcing or nearshoring projects should visit Tunisia and get to know the vibrant tech ecosystem themselves. Which is why organize discovery tours to do exactly that. One of our best tools and arguments to start collaborating with Tunisian tech experts. 🏭 Tech216 supported Maher Amara in setting up a North African subsidiary for SHERPA ENGINEERING in Tunisia.
