FIPA Tunisia - Agence de Promotion de l’Investissement Extérieur

FIPA Tunisia was created in 1995 as part of the Tunisian vision of the vital role of foreign investment in mobilising foreign resources and creating productive projects. Its generic role consists in promoting Tunisia's vocation as an investment destination of choice to foreign investors, business circles and international bodies as well as to Tunisian skills abroad.

The agency has 5 offices abroad: France (Paris), Italy (Milan), Germany (Cologne), the United Kingdom (London) and Spain (Madrid).

First public enterprise to be ISO certified in 2003, FIPA Tunisia works on several levels:

• Image building, through the dissemination of clear and credible information on the rules and procedures for setting up a business in Tunisia, on the business environment and investment opportunities;
• Prospection and identification of competitive investment niches;
• Monitoring of the process of setting up a business and follow-up consolidated by an effective intervention strategy.
