The second project component is co-financed by the European Union and is called "Support to the Modernisation of Tunisian Industry (AMIT)" as part of the "Competitiveness and Export Support Programme (PACE)". The PACE-AMIT project aims to reach two objectives: The first objective (OS1) is to assist the Tunisian industry in the modernisation and transformation towards an innovative and digitalised industry 4.0. The second objective (OS2) targets the reduction of technical barriers to trade with a view to strengthening the competitiveness of companies and increasing exports, especially to Europe. The two components are divided into four fields of action. The first area aims to improve the legal and institutional framework in order to increase the environmental sustainability, innovation capacity and export capacity of the industry. The second area aims to intensify cooperation between companies and service providers to promote innovation and environmental sustainability in three priority sectors. The third field of action aims to strengthen the capacity of enterprises and relevant support institutions to integrate supply chains and to promote the export capacity of enterprises. The fourth area aims to strengthen the resilience and capacities of enterprises to adapt to changing market conditions.
