HealthCare Innovation is proud to announce the signing of a partnership agreement with GFI Group — bringing together Polytech Sousse and connway academy — to strengthen HealthTech innovation and advanced IT expertise in Tunisia and beyond.

By bridging digital health innovation with cutting-edge IT capabilities, this collaboration reinforces a shared commitment to building scalable, secure, and impactful e-health solutions while positioning Tunisia as a competitive hub for HealthTech development.

Why This Partnership Matters

The evolution of digital health increasingly depends on strong integration between healthcare expertise and advanced information technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Business Intelligence. The WHO Global Strategy on Digital Health (2020–2025) emphasizes interoperability, data governance, and innovation capacity as pillars of modern health systems. The OECD likewise highlights that digital transformation in healthcare requires robust IT infrastructure and talent development.

This partnership directly addresses these priorities by connecting HealthTech innovation with specialized IT education and applied research capabilities.

Collaboration Objectives

• Accelerate innovation in digital health and e-health solutions through structured joint initiatives.
• Integrate advanced IT expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Business Intelligence into HealthTech projects.
• Support talent development and applied research for national and international innovation initiatives.

Strategic Impact for Tunisia

• Strengthening the integration of IT excellence into HealthTech ecosystems.
• Enhancing cybersecurity and data protection standards within digital health solutions.
• Expanding applied research collaboration between education institutions and innovation clusters.
• Supporting scalable HealthTech solutions ready for regional and international deployment.
• Positioning Tunisia as a competitive and secure hub for digital health innovation.

Next Steps

The partnership will move toward operationalization through joint programs, collaborative workshops, innovation challenges, and coordinated participation in national and international calls for projects. Both institutions aim to translate this strategic alignment into measurable impact across education, technology, and healthcare.
