Aslan Ben Rejeb, president of the Confédération des entreprises citoyennes de Tunisie (Conect), argues that industrial sovereignty for Tunisia doesn't mean producing everything locally. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of mastering strategic skills and securing supply chains. Ben Rejeb calls for a re-evaluation of the competitiveness factors within Tunisian industry. He believes that building strong partnerships is also crucial for achieving true industrial sovereignty in Tunisia. The focus should be on capabilities, not simply local production for its own sake. This approach, he suggests, will allow Tunisia to construct, rather than merely decree, its industrial independence. His statements were published in Business News.
