Marrakech – ORA, a Moroccan tech startup born in the vibrant heart of Casablanca, has closed a record-breaking $7.5 million Series A funding round. Led by Azur Innovation Fund alongside local investors, this milestone represents more than capital—it signals a powerful statement about the strength and readiness of Morocco’s homegrown innovation ecosystem.
Founder and CEO Omar Alami passionately framed the funding as a testament to Morocco’s commitment to supporting innovation created by and for its people. “This is more than funding,” he said. “It’s proof that Morocco is ready to back innovation made by and for its people.”
ORA’s success challenges the notion that startups need foreign validation to thrive, underscoring the country’s growing confidence and venture readiness in the tech space.
