Morocco-Switzerland textiles: from dialogue to concrete opportunities
On 11 June 2026, Switzerland Global Enterprise, in collaboration with the CCSM, organised a webinar dedicated to the opportunities in the Moroccan textile sector and textile equipment. Bringing together players from both countries, including AMITH (Moroccan Association of Textile and Clothing Industries), the event provided a detailed overview of a sector undergoing far-reaching transformation.

The figures speak for themselves: as Morocco’s second-largest export sector, textiles account for around 15% of industrial exports and generate more than 200,000 direct jobs. Already integrated into European value chains, the sector benefits from a skilled workforce and the ability to handle complex products — assets that position it as a natural partner for Swiss companies.
And it is this strategic complementarity that the webinar highlighted: where Switzerland brings its expertise in R&D, technical textiles, machinery and sustainability solutions, Morocco offers its industrial production capacity, competitive costs and proximity to Europe. Synergies that open up concrete prospects: joint product development, factory modernisation, nearshoring partnerships or skills transfer programmes.
The CCSM also presented its five thematic commissions, including the Industry, Innovation, Trust and Sustainable Transition commission, which is particularly in tune with the sector’s challenges.
