Avempace

What Avempace does

Avempace Technologies is a privately held Tunisian IoT and embedded systems engineering firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Nabeul, Tunisia, with sales offices in Paris and Stuttgart serving Western European and DACH markets. The company operates a hybrid business combining custom engineering services (embedded firmware for microcontrollers and Linux microprocessors, mobile applications across iOS, Android, wearables, and connected TV, and cloud infrastructure) with four proprietary product platforms: Vizia.Live (a WebRTC real-time communication SDK spanning Android, iOS, embedded Linux, and web, reported to power 100K+ end users), Indusmind (an industrial smart energy management platform with B25 Edge Controller, O4 Controller, and T45 Sensor Unit hardware), Watermon (a precision agriculture irrigation platform), and a Secure RFID/MIFARE-based access control stack.

Its go-to-market is direct enterprise and SME sales through the three offices, supported by digital marketing across a multilingual website (English, French, German), LinkedIn, and case-study content. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based and retainer engineering services, with multi-year hybrid packages for packaged solutions like Indusmind combining hardware, cloud subscriptions, and professional services. Notable named customers include MicroEJ, Smaart, Viwone, Caelimp, CVS Médiathèques, D-Stream/Tonna, Decathlon, ScentAir, and Head Acoustics, alongside a Watermon deployment with Bouargoub farmers in Tunisia.

The firm is co-founded and led by CEO Haythem Boughzala and CTO Abdelhamid Kerkeni, holds no external institutional investment, and is supported by regulatory credentials including MIFARE Registered Partner status from NXP and IPD-Verified IT/Engineering Partner recognition from the German Import Promotion Desk. Headcount sits in the 1-10 range per firmographic data, and the company is actively expanding its European commercial footprint while productizing additional proprietary IP.
