The Kingdom’s industrial future takes shape

Morocco is thinking big for its industrial sector. The Ministry of Industry’s 2021 action plan, presented in December, provides for the completion of several major projects in terms of industrial, commercial, technological and R&D infrastructure.

The plan notably provides for the creation of new economic activity zones, such as the one planned at Ksar Abjir in the Tangier region over an area of 20.5 hectares. The other major project concerns the Mohammed VI Tangier Tech City, over an area of 100 hectares. The Casa-Settat and Fez-Meknes regions are not to be outdone. Industrial acceleration zones are planned there over areas of 300 and five hundred hectares respectively.

There is no doubt that the plan as presented is a firm expression of the Kingdom’s ambitions to establish a genuine, all-round industrial revolution.
