Morocco is positioning itself as a rising IT hub by heavily investing in blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and other emerging technologies, aiming for a 10% GDP increase by 2030. The country’s Digital Morocco 2030 plan includes over 11 billion dirhams in investments and the creation of 240,000 jobs, along with training 100,000 individuals in digital skills annually.
Blockchain is set to play a vital role in Morocco’s digital economy, with government adoption in public services and expanding use in the commercial sector, including early experiments in finance and healthcare. Blockchain’s growing presence is evident in the digital asset scene, with nearly six million Moroccans holding digital assets, despite previous regulatory challenges.
AI integration is also transforming Morocco, with initiatives such as the first African AI-powered educational system at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. The government’s efforts include introducing AI into the legal system and assisting over 1,000 SMEs with AI adoption, in partnership with entities like LinkedIn and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Workforce development is central to Morocco’s strategy, with a focus on digital education to equip young people with the skills needed for the global digital economy. The Digital Morocco 2030 plan is a bold blueprint to position the country among the world’s top 50 tech powers by 2030, creating new opportunities for growth and innovation.
