Tunisia will be the guest of honour at MTL Connecte 2027. The recognition builds on its presence at the forum's 8th edition in 2026, led by Consul Kamel Makkes in Montreal, and forms part of Tunisian-Canadian cooperation in technology, innovation and digital transformation.
What is the MTL CONNECTE Forum, and what role did Tunisia play there in 2026?
He represented Tunisia's Ambassador to Canada at the 8th edition of the event.
Tunisia took part in the 8th edition of the MTL CONNECTE Forum in 2026 as part of efforts to strengthen Tunisian-Canadian cooperation in technology, innovation and digital transformation.
Kamel Makkes, Consul of the Republic of Tunisia in Montreal, led this presence on behalf of Tunisia's Ambassador to Canada. This diplomatic participation came a year before Tunisia was announced as guest of honour for the 2027 edition.
Who spoke for Tunisia in Montreal?
Kamel Makkes, Consul of the Republic of Tunisia in Montreal, spoke for Tunisia at this edition of the MTL CONNECTE Forum. He represented Tunisia's Ambassador to Canada at the 8th edition of the event.
This consular presence was an official diplomatic representation: by leading the delegation on the Ambassador's behalf, Kamel Makkes served, for this edition of the forum, as the institutional link between Tunisia and Canada.
What framework does this Tunisian-Canadian cooperation fall under?
This invitation extends efforts already under way to strengthen Tunisian-Canadian cooperation in technology, innovation and digital transformation. Tunisia takes part in MTL CONNECTE 2027 as a recognised partner.
This momentum goes beyond the Montreal event alone: it reflects a shared ambition to build lasting bridges between the two countries' digital ecosystems. For Tunisia, it is an opportunity to present its technological expertise to a North American audience.
From the consular presence in Montreal to the invitation of honour for 2027, the continuity is clear: this partnership is built to last, beyond any protocolary handshake. What remains, for both Tunisia and Canada, is to turn this recognition into concrete projects.
