Morocco is rising as North Africa’s leader in artificial intelligence through the use of technology supporting innovation across finance, healthcare, and other various sectors. 

According to a recent Mastercard report, Morocco is becoming a North African destination for AI centers, due to ambitious national strategies and rising investments in digital and technology personnel.

Artificial intelligence is at the heart of Morocco’s drive to accelerate technologically. AI is a central part of Digital Morocco 2030, a national strategy plan launched by the government to invest MAD 9.95 billion and create 240,000 digital job openings by the end of the decade.

This effort embodies a forward-thinking vision of a sustainable digital ecosystem driven by both public and private sector collaboration. Organizations like Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and innovation-leading startups like DeepEcho are pioneering research and deployment of artificial intelligence solutions, while forums like the MoroccoAI Annual conference drive national conversation around the future of artificial intelligence.
