KPIT Technologies, an automotive software and mobility engineering firm, has inaugurated its new software engineering centre in Sfax, Tunisia.
This move is set to strengthen the company's delivery footprint and accelerate innovation within the mobility ecosystem.
The opening ceremony saw the attendance of senior leaders from the Tunisian automotive sector, investment authorities, universities, and KPIT's leadership.

This development further extends KPIT's global delivery network, which includes the US, Germany, France, Japan, China, Thailand, and India.
Tunisia Investment Authority President Namia Ayadisaid: “Tunisia reaffirms its position as a strategic hub for innovation and high-tech expertise, driven by a vibrant investment ecosystem and forward-looking reforms. The establishment of KPIT in Tunisia is a strong testament to this momentum and further strengthens our appeal as a prime destination for cutting-edge technology investments.

We applaud KPIT’s commitment to Tunisia and express full support to international investors”
