The 'Tunis Medindustrie' provides companies with a platform to market goods and services in the sectors of industrial mechanics, electricity and electronics, metals, mechanics, plastics, automotives and automotive components and the built environment.
The exhibition is primarily dedicated to industrial partnership and innovation.
Thabethe is accompanied to the exhibition by a business delegation from eight companies that are being funded by the dti to participate in the four-day event.
The funding is done through the department's Export Marketing and Investment Assistance Scheme (EMIA). The EMIA scheme aims to develop export markets for South African products and services and to recruit new foreign direct investment into South Africa.
The theme for this year's show is 'Working for the Future'. The exhibition, which takes place in Tunis, will conclude on Saturday.
