At the end of a meeting with Tunisia’s investment and international cooperation minister Zied Ladhari on January 24, 2018, (the third day of Davos economic forum), he declared that this visit is to “prospect for opportunities to develop new startups in the tech and communication sector”.

According to the executive president, Ooredoo wants to “encourage young promoters to embark on this experience and take advantage of the seeds that will be sown in that regard”. He also expressed the group’s will to launch the 5G in Tunisia, in 2019 if possible.

The high broadband internet will be launched “after completion of all the procedures and elaboration of an adequate legislative framework”, he indicated revealing the successful experimentation of the first call between Qatar and Kuwait using the 5G on January 22, 2019.

On December 20, 2018, during a 5G and innovation workshop, Anouar Maarouf, Tunisia’s minister of digital economy, announced that licenses for the new technology would probably be available in 2021.
