“Tunisia has no other choices but innovation and creativity to achieve progress.”
Taoufik Jelassi, Tunisia’s former minister of higher education, scientific research and information and communication technologies, couldn’t have made it any clearer when he spoke at the International Innovation Summit in Hammamet in September 2014.
Despite a highly promising ICT sector, Tunisians do not necessarily excel when it comes to creating and innovating – partly because university graduates receive very theoretical training.
Two makerspaces in Tunisia are working to provide practical training to fill this gap.
Mohamed Bejar guides a visitor into FabLab Solidaire, the new, youth-driven makerspace at cité El Khadra, Tunis that launched on November 17.
The space has a dazzling array of machines. There are 3D printers of varying levels of complexity, Bejar said.
