NAVIGO actively shapes the German-Tunisian Economic Forum Essen 2026
NAVIGO supports the 1st German-Tunisian Economic Forum in Essen and contributes its expertise in international workforce mobility and German-Tunisian cooperation.
70 years of partnership – new impetus for the future
Together with the City of Essen and the Essen Economic Development Agency, NAVIGO is shaping the 1st German-Tunisian Economic Forum at Essen City Hall. NAVIGO contributes to the organisation and content of the forum, bringing in particular its expertise in international workforce mobility, the healthcare economy and institutional cooperation.
The occasion is a special anniversary: 2026 marks 70 years since Germany and Tunisia established diplomatic relations. The forum brings together actors from business, politics, science and institutions of both countries to strengthen existing ties and develop new perspectives for German-Tunisian cooperation. Key topics include the healthcare economy, green transformation, digitalisation, securing skilled labour, investment and innovation.
Shaping workforce mobility together
A particular focus of the forum is healthcare and international workforce mobility. NAVIGO co-founders and managing directors Dr. Aboubakr Rabah and Mehriz Fezzani contribute their expertise as forum and workshop moderators and as panel guests in various formats.
The exchange connects the perspectives of employers and German and Tunisian institutions, including actors from hospitals and university clinics, the Tunisian healthcare system, international cooperation, economic development agencies, medical networks and skilled-labour initiatives. At the centre is the question of how closer German-Tunisian cooperation can promote and long-term integration.
Connections that lead to cooperation
The forum creates space to bring different perspectives together, deepen professional dialogue and initiate new cooperations. NAVIGO helps build sustainable connections between Germany and Tunisia and to shape workforce mobility in a fair, structured and lastingly successful way.
