• ESPRIT (École Supérieure Privée d'Ingénierie et de Technologies): Leading private engineering school in Tunisia offering Licence, Master, and Cycle d'Ingénieur programs in computer science, networks, and electronics. Closest direct competitor to UPES in the Tunisian private technical higher-education market.

Broad incumbents

• Higher Colleges of Technology (UAE): Large established higher-education institution focused on applied technology, engineering, and business programs across multiple campuses. Comparable in its emphasis on technology/applied learning and its role serving a diverse regional student base, though at much larger scale.

Comparable as a broader incumbent that competes for the same francophone/African talent pool with stronger brand recognition.
