Youth play a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in North Africa and the Middle East. That’s why the European Union, in partnership with the Agence Universitaire pour la Francophonie, launched the Safir project. This four-year program aims to support young people in nine countries in the region (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia) by promoting economic inclusion and the realization of projects with social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

The International University of Rabat has been selected to benefit from this program. Safir will support over 1,000 young project leaders and help structure a regional ecosystem that fosters dialogue between young people and public authorities. Thus, the call for applications launched within the Safir program provides an opportunity for the creation or strengthening of university incubators in the countries involved. Interested universities can apply until October 31, 2020.

If you are a project leader wishing to have a positive impact on society and the environment, do not hesitate to apply for the Safir program and its benefits. You can also visit the official Safir project page to learn more about its objectives and achievements.

In 2018, the Moroccan government launched the “Smart Morocco” project, aimed at developing information and communication technologies in the country. The project includes a component dedicated to IoT, with the objective of making Morocco a hub for IoT startups in Africa.

Morocco has also created a favorable ecosystem for IoT startups by encouraging collaboration between companies, universities, and research centers. In 2019, the city of Casablanca hosted the first “IoT Morocco Summit,” an event dedicated to IoT that attracted hundreds of participants from around the world.

Moroccan IoT startups have also benefited from the government’s financial support, with several investment funds dedicated to the growth of IoT companies. Additionally, the government has simplified business creation processes for IoT startups, making it easier to bring new products and services to market.

Since 2012, the Moroccan government has launched several programs to promote AI in partnership with the country’s universities. These programs have enabled the training of new talents in AI, strengthened research and development in this field, and fostered innovation in AI. In 2015, Mohammed V University of Rabat launched a master’s program in AI for students interested in developing AI skills. This program trains students in machine learning techniques, speech and image recognition, and data modeling.

One of the most successful programs has been the National Program for AI Promotion (PNIA), launched in 2018. This program was designed to help Moroccan businesses integrate AI into their operations, strengthen AI training, and develop new AI solutions. In collaboration with universities, the PNIA organized conferences, seminars, and workshops to inform businesses and citizens about the benefits of AI and how to integrate it into their operations. The PNIA also supported the training of new talents in AI by funding scholarships for students interested in this field.

In 2019, Cadi Ayyad University of Marrakech launched an AI research center to develop AI skills among Moroccan researchers and encourage collaboration with AI industry players.

Thanks to these various programs, Morocco has seen a significant increase in AI activities over the past decade. Many AI startups have been founded, such as Morocco AI, a platform dedicated to AI and data science in Morocco. Companies have also started integrating AI into their operations, as is the case with the National Investment Company (SNI), which has used AI to improve its operations.

Finally, in 2022, the Moroccan government launched a national AI strategy program aimed at encouraging the adoption of AI by Moroccan businesses and developing AI skills among Moroccan citizens. These AI promotion programs in Morocco demonstrate the commitment of the government and universities to stimulate the development of AI as a key field for the future of the country.

Morocco has become a leader in Africa in supporting entrepreneurship through its numerous initiatives to encourage business growth. The Moroccan government has established a number of programs to assist entrepreneurs, including grants, loans, and incubators for start-up companies.
