Among the highlights of 2024, the spotlight on opportunities in the ICT sector at GITEX Africa opened up new horizons for Swiss companies wishing to invest in Morocco’s digital economy. This issue indeed gives the floor to Mr Chakib Achour, representative of GITEX Africa Morocco, in our “3 questions for” interview, in which he offers insights for Swiss start-ups and companies.
We also had the honour of welcoming a new Ambassador of Switzerland to Morocco, His Excellency Mr Valentin Zellweger, a fervent advocate of dynamic bilateral relations. Through his portrait, you will discover his vision for further strengthening the economic, cultural and human ties between our two countries.
Our members are at the heart of our mission and we are delighted to offer them a space for expression through our new initiative “1 minute, 1 member”, in which we welcome Messrs Driss and Othman Krafess, co-founders of Arade Eco Aquaculture and of the Vitamin Sea brand, which markets an exceptional shrimp thanks to technology from several horizons, notably Switzerland. Finally, this issue is packed with news, such as our traditional Fondue and Raclette Evening, which will take place on 17 January. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
We warmly thank our members, partners and collaborators for their unwavering commitment throughout the year. Together, we have laid solid foundations for a promising future.
In 2025, we will continue to innovate and broaden our horizons, always with the ambition of making the CCSM a key player in economic relations between Switzerland and Morocco.
Happy reading and a wonderful 2025 to you all!
Christophe de Figueiredo, President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Morocco
