Developments: 2. Morocco is actively working to structure and expand its national video game ecosystem through international visibility and institutional financial support. The country made its first official appearance at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, featuring a national pavilion with eleven studios. This delegation, led by the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE) and the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, aimed to connect local developers with international publishers and investors. Many participating studios were graduates of national support programs, such as the Video Game Incubator. Following this international showcase, the Moroccan government expanded its domestic support by making gaming companies eligible for the Innovation Support Fund. A specific sub-programme for 2026–2028 was established to provide financial assistance for prototyping and pilot industrialization. While these initiatives aim to lower development costs and highlight sectors like mobile gaming, industry observers note that studios still face challenges in transitioning from production services to owning intellectual property and securing international publishing deals. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-03: Morocco expands gaming industry support and international presence Morocco is boosting its gaming sector through the Innovation Support Fund and its first international pavilion at Gamescom, focusing on mobile development and intellectual property ownership. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/morocco-expands-gaming-industry-support-and-international-presence ### 2026-08-27: Morocco debuts official presence at Gamescom with 11 gaming studios Morocco is making its first official appearance at Gamescom in Cologne, featuring 11 national studios to connect with international publishers and investors to grow its gaming ecosystem. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/morocco-debuts-official-presence-at-gamescom-with-11-gaming-studios --- Cite as: Moroccan video game industry development.
