Morocco is officially adopting blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to modernize its economy as part of the ambitious Digital Morocco 2030 national strategy. The goal is to establish a digital economy by 2030, improve government efficiency, and create thousands of jobs, positioning Morocco as a regional tech hub with a focus on blockchain and AI.
Outlined in a 15-page document by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, the Digital Morocco 2030 plan aims to build a robust digital economy. By investing heavily in blockchain, AI, and cloud computing, Morocco is addressing the technological challenges that have long impeded progress in many African countries. This strategy positions the nation as a strong competitor in the global tech market, fostering innovation and economic growth.
Blockchain plays a critical role in this initiative. As the global crypto industry continues to grow, now valued at approximately $3 trillion, the demand for secure blockchain solutions is on the rise. Morocco’s commitment to adopting blockchain technology creates a promising environment for crypto innovation and investment, with crypto agencies offering expertise, security, and regulatory guidance for new blockchain projects.
In addition to blockchain adoption, the Digital Morocco 2030 Plan aims to generate 240,000 direct jobs in the digital sector and contribute more than MAD 100 billion (approximately $10.27 billion) to the country’s GDP. Morocco is also making significant strides toward full e-governance, ensuring that public services are fully digitized, offering more accessible and efficient government services for its citizens.
