A Tunisian-Canadian networking mission dedicated to technical textiles will take place from April 3 to 8, 2025, in Montréal and Toronto, with the participation of a dozen Tunisian exporting companies, announced the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ).
Organized under the Qualitative Growth for Employment (CQE) project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union (EU), and implemented by GIZ, the mission will enable Tunisian companies to engage in B2B meetings during the Canada International Textile & Apparel Expo (April 7-8, 2025).
The event will bring together industry experts, economic support institutions, and key technical textile stakeholders to explore partnership opportunities—both bilaterally and through triangular cooperation with North American, European, African, and Middle Eastern partners.
A landmark agreement was signed between Monastir-El Fejja Competitive Cluster (MFCPôle) and Vestechpro (Apparel Research and Innovation Center) and TechniTextile Québec, marking a significant step in strengthening Tunisia-Canada cooperation in the high-potential technical textiles sector.
The program for this mission includes field visits to Canadian companies operating in the technical textiles sector on April 4, 2025, to enable the Tunisian participants to discover first-hand the know-how and innovations of the sector in Canada.
The close collaboration between the economic support institutions and the business community in Tunisia and Canada reflects a shared desire to move forward to develop innovative and sustainable technical textiles by strengthening industrial and scientific synergies in a win-win approach and for greater competitiveness on international markets,” said the same source.
