The National Committee for Video Game Development is driving professionalisation, talent growth and industry collaboration across Tunisia\u2019s gaming sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tunisia.- Tunisia<\/strong> is staking its claim in Africa\u2019s fast-growing gaming<\/strong> and esports market<\/strong>. The National Committee for Video Game Development is leading efforts to professionalise the country\u2019s gaming sector and position Tunisia as a growing force in the digital economy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up under the Tunisian Esports Federation<\/strong> (TunESF), the committee is tasked with expanding Tunisia\u2019s video game development industry and supporting emerging studios. TunESF stated that the committee\u2019s goal is to \u201cintegrate<\/strong> gaming” into Tunisia\u2019s digital economy. The federation said: \u201cThe National Committee for Video Game Development is working to professionalise Tunisia\u2019s gaming sector and strengthen its role<\/strong> in the national digital economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee is bringing together developers<\/strong>, entrepreneurs, mentors, policymakers and tech organisations<\/strong> to build a more coordinated ecosystem<\/strong> designed to attract investment. \u201cBy uniting developers, startups, educators and policymakers, the committee aims to build a more structured and investment-ready <\/strong>ecosystem for video game creation,\u201d added TunESF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its work spans talent development<\/strong>, innovation, infrastructure and industry advocacy, signalling Tunisia\u2019s ambition to expand beyond esports competitions into broader video game <\/strong>development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaping Tunisia\u2019s gaming future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The committee also hosts the annual CNGD Summit<\/strong>, a gathering where developers, investors, educators and policymakers swap ideas, tackle industry challenges and shape Tunisia\u2019s gaming roadmap<\/strong>. With a young, tech-savvy population, growing esports infrastructure<\/strong> and a budding indie game community, Tunisia aims to become a leading gaming market in North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TunESF emphasises that the committee\u2019s work extends far beyond tournaments<\/strong>. \u201cOur mission is to support talent, promote collaboration<\/strong> and ensure that video game development becomes a sustainable <\/strong>and strategic industry in Tunisia,\u201d said the federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although part of an esports federation, the committee is quietly building a bigger gaming industry. By connecting developers, educators and policymakers, it is creating a tighter ecosystem and Tunisia\u2019s video game scene is growing<\/strong> with initiatives underway as the committee looks to expand its impact<\/strong> through 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n
