I definitely agree with you that attempting to blindly replicate another country's success is a recipe for failure. Success stories like Israel and SV, or even Taiwan in the semiconductor sector, were formed due to very specific circumstances and needs, and probably arose without anyone really intending them to. I guess what I was trying to say is that I'm hoping Tunisia learns what it can from Israel and other successes. I think we have the environment and the human capital to at the very least attract foreign companies to setup offices in Tunisia. Ideally, we would start our own local companies to compete on the global stage. And as you've kindly mentioned, this requires serious interest by the government, and from what I've seen, this is starting to become the case.
