(Ecofin Agency) - The Smart Tunisia technology project was approved a few weeks ago by the government. Developed to encourage large global companies in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector to relocate their activities to Tunisia, it should create 50,000 jobs within five years.
According to Mongi Marzouk, the Minister of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the country, which wants to become a preferred destination for ICT companies, plans to set up a one-stop shop for foreign investors to facilitate their establishment.
These ICT companies "will also benefit from a recruitment allowance of 700 dinars per year ($419.41) for up to seven years, for each recruitment of a first-time job seeker."
