Moroccan economic and industrial development initiatives

Overview

Morocco is engaging in various diplomatic and industrial initiatives to strengthen its economic position and regional partnerships. During the 157th Diplomatic Crossroads in Rabat, officials discussed leveraging Morocco’s strategic location and infrastructure to attract investment through a new investment charter and public-private partnerships.

Building on these economic goals, the country is hosting industrial exhibitions to foster regional cooperation. The SISTEP IMME event in Casablanca aims to integrate value chains between Morocco and Mauritania in the mining, energy, and industrial sectors.

In September 2026, the 9th edition of the International Exhibition of Packaging, Machinery, and Agri-food (SIEMA) convened in Casablanca under the theme ‘Cap Agro 2030: Sovereignty, water resilience, and competitiveness of Made in Morocco.’ The exhibition focused on water resilience, technological modernization through artificial intelligence, and the digitalization of export certification to enhance food safety and traceability.

Expanding its international reach, Morocco participated in the Global Food Week in Abu Dhabi from October 6 to 8, 2026. Organized by the Agency for Agricultural Development (ADA), the Moroccan pavilion showcased over 100 local terroir products from 25 regional groups, representing more than 770 small-scale farmers, including rural women who comprise approximately 42% of the beneficiaries. This initiative aligns with the ‘Generation Green 2020-2030’ strategy, which seeks to enhance the competitiveness of local products, professionalize cooperatives, and promote the ‘Terroir du Maroc’ collective label in international markets, particularly within the Middle East.
