Industrial Upgrading Program Validates Hundreds of Files and Extends Incentives to Industrial Wastewater Treatment
A total of 110 million dinars (MD) of industrial investments was approved on Friday during the meeting of the Advisory Committee of the Industrial Upgrading Program, chaired by the Minister of the sector, Fatima Thabet Chiboub. The agenda, made public via the official Facebook page of the Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy, mainly focused on the validation of four major files. These projects concern companies operating in the food, textile-clothing, mechanical and electrical industries, as well as various other sectors. They will benefit from subsidies amounting to 15 MD. The decisions of the program's restricted committee, which met on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, were also ratified. This session had itself given the green light to:
- 33 upgrading files, for a total investment of 53 MD and subsidies of 8.1 MD.
- 66 priority technological investment files, representing an envelope of 4.6 MD and aids of around 2 MD.
Incentive for Industrial Wastewater Treatment
In a separate section, and with the aim of stimulating green investments, the Committee approved an important measure: projects for the concentration of industrial wastewater treatment stations will now be eligible for incentives from the Industrial Competitiveness Development Fund. This measure aims to encourage industrial companies to equip themselves for more sustainable management of their effluents. Context: The Industrial Upgrading Program is a key government device for modernizing the national productive fabric, boosting competitiveness, and supporting companies in investment and technological transition projects.
