Morocco’s leading telecom operator, Maroc Telecom, is preparing to enter a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to establish a regional data storage hub in Morocco or the wider North African region. This collaboration aims to meet Africa’s increasing cloud infrastructure demands by building localized data centers that reduce latency, enhance data sovereignty, and drive digital transformation.
A central pillar of the partnership is the use of renewable energy to power these new facilities, aligning with Morocco’s strong commitment to solar and wind energy projects. The data centers are expected to be highly energy-efficient with minimal environmental impact, supporting global sustainability goals.
By combining Google Cloud’s advanced cloud technologies with Maroc Telecom’s extensive network infrastructure, the partnership seeks to position Morocco as a key regional hub for cloud services. This will attract enterprises and governments requiring reliable, secure, and compliant local cloud infrastructure, while expanding Maroc Telecom’s offerings in cloud, connectivity, and managed services.
This collaboration marks a major advancement in North Africa’s digital infrastructure modernization, fostering economic growth and technological innovation across the region.
