FormaTech Expo Returns to Algiers for Skill Transformation
The FormaTech Expo is set to return to Algiers for its second edition, taking place from October 12 to 15, 2026, at Pavilion A of the SAFEX Exhibition Palace. Building on the foundation laid by its inaugural event, this edition is themed "Transforming skills to reinvent professions" and aims to advance the evolution of competencies in response to new technological advancements. The expo serves as a key platform for addressing critical changes in the professional world.
Central to this year's FormaTech Expo are crucial themes such as artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and novel approaches to learning, alongside broader discussions on digital transformation and fostering digital trust. The event enjoys the patronage of several national ministries, including Vocational Training and Education, Higher Education and Scientific Research, Knowledge Economy, Start-ups and Micro-enterprises, Post and Telecommunications, and Youth. Additionally, Groupe Télécom Algérie (GTA) is supporting the expo as a Platinum Sponsor, reinforcing its dedication to initiatives that elevate Algeria's position in technological excellence. The gathering is designed to bring together companies, institutions, training organizations, human resources professionals, experts, technology stakeholders, start-ups, and emerging talents to facilitate dialogue between market demands and skill development.
The comprehensive scientific program for FormaTech Expo includes conferences, round tables, workshops, masterclasses, a dedicated "FormaTech Innovators" section, and a National Eloquence Competition. These activities are tailored to enhance collaboration between academic institutions and businesses, improve employability, and promote upskilling and reskilling initiatives for the workforce. This edition will also feature an international dimension, with Professor Philip Kotler, a globally recognized authority in marketing and management, scheduled to host an online workshop focused on "Marketing in the AI Era," further enriching the event's global perspective and its contribution to Algeria's rapidly evolving economy.
