Tunisia is hosting an international technology conference in Gammarth from October 29 to 31, 2026, bringing together researchers, artificial intelligence specialists and academic experts to discuss the future of digital innovation.

The IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence for a Digital and Sustainable Transition (IEEE AIDIST 2026) is being held under the auspices of Tunisia's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

The event aims to encourage international discussion on the responsible development and use of artificial intelligence, including its potential impact on healthcare, environmental protection, industry, society and ethical standards.

Researchers and academic participants from Tunisia, Canada and Quebec are expected to contribute to discussions and exchange expertise on emerging AI technologies.

The conference forms part of the fifth edition of the Tunisian Forum for Education, Research and Innovation (FCIERI), connecting scientific research with the country's wider digital transformation ambitions.

The gathering highlights Tunisia's growing role in regional technology and research discussions, particularly as governments and businesses explore how AI can support sustainable development and improve public services.

The outcomes and partnerships emerging from the conference could offer further opportunities for Tunisian universities, researchers and technology companies.
