Mr Tangour also said that “Tunisia which is endowed with scientific competences, is capable today of developing applications in this technology, as well as mastering innovations in this new field of study.” Recently, an association dubbed, the Tunisian association of nanotechnology was set up in Tunis. The association which gathers a number of Tunisian academics and experts, will soon announce its program of action.
