Technopark, Plug and Play Launch Global Accelerator for Moroccan Startups
Casablanca – Morocco took another big step toward its digital-hub ambitions today as Technopark Morocco and Plug and Play Tech Center signed a strategic partnership at Technopark headquarters in Casablanca. The Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform (MTNRA) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance have backed the partnership, reinforcing the government's Maroc Digital 2030 strategy. Why the partnership matters Morocco's startup scene has grown quickly, but founders often say they lack two things: strong global networks and late-stage capital. Plug and Play, famous for early bets on Dropbox and PayPal, brings both. Technopark has added deep local roots since 2001, it has shepherded more than 1,800 young companies across IT, green tech, and creative industries. The partnership program promises hands-on coaching, pilot projects with big corporations, and crucially, introductions to investors inside and outside Africa. What the leaders said 'As a global leader in innovation and investment, committed to the Moroccan technology ecosystem since its inception and convinced of its potential, this partnership with the Technopark allows us to strengthen our commitment,' Aziz El Hachem, Co-Director Africa, Plug and Play Tech Center, said in his speech in the event. 'We are working to co-build an ecosystem where local innovation shines well beyond borders, with a clear ambition: to support the emergence of high-potential startups and accompany them towards success on a global scale.' El Hachem told Morocco World News. That Plug and Play planted roots in Casablanca five years ago: 'We landed in Morocco five years ago to position Morocco as the leading innovation hub in Africa. Since then, we have managed to accelerate more than 110 different startups,' he said, adding: 'We're very happy with this new partnership with the Ministry of Digital Transformation and TechnoPark. We will be launching a new program out of TechnoPark in Casablanca to double down on our different operations and activities, and investments,' he told MWN From Technopark's side, Managing Director Lamiae Benmakhlouf framed the alliance as the next logical step after two decades of local ecosystem-building. 'This strategic partnership with Plug and Play marks a new step in our mission to support Moroccan startups. It reinforces our commitment to an open, connected, and internationally oriented ecosystem,' she argued in her speech. 'We are convinced that this synergy will provide young startups with the necessary levers to accelerate their growth and access new markets.' She later elaborated in an exclusive interview with MWN. 'The objective of this partnership is to implement an acceleration program for Moroccan startups with high growth and innovation potential,' she stressed. The initiative is 'part of the Moroccan Digital Strategy 2030,' she recalled, adding that its central aim is 'to support startups throughout their journey from ideation to acceleration.' Government officials echoed that message. Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Minister for Digital Transition and Reform of the Administration, who oversees digital transition, linked the deal to national policy. 'This collaboration illustrates the Kingdom's will, through the Maroc Digital 2030 strategy, to make innovation a driver of growth, technological sovereignty,y and openness,' the minister explained. 'By joining forces with a leading player such as Plug and Play, we are creating concrete opportunities for Moroccan startups to shine internationally and to be part of global competitiveness dynamics,' said in a speech at the event.' The United States demonstrated its support for the initiative through remarks by Marissa Scott, Consul General of the United States in Casablanca. Scott hailed the partnership in comments to MWN, emphasizing the US government's commitment to supporting innovation efforts in Morocco. 'I am here at Technopark today to celebrate,' she said. 'We are excited as the USA government about this memorandum of understanding because it gives an opportunity to connect the technical innovation prowess of the United States with the building momentum of Morocco, combined, it is a powerhouse.' How the program will work According to both Technopark and Plug and Play insiders, applications are expected to open in July, with a 12-week acceleration track to follow. The cohort should wrap up with a public Demo Day in September; pilot opportunities will be offered via Plug and Play's network of over 550 corporate partners. Initial focus areas are said to include fintech, health-tech, clean energy, smart-city solutions, and other high-growth digital services.' With today's signing, all eyes will now turn to the first cohort this fall. If the Technopark–Plug and Play model delivers, Morocco could see a fresh wave of startups ready for international prime time, just as the kingdom pushes to diversify its economy and stake a claim as Africa's digital gateway. Applications open in a matter of weeks, officially launching the race to become Morocco's next exciting tech founder. For founders itching to join this transformative initiative, El Hachem's closing words set an encouraging tone: 'We will be launching a new program out of Technopark in Casablanca to double down on our different operations and activities, and investments.'

33% of Moroccan Companies Warn AI Is Widening Cybersecurity Gaps
Rabat – Artificial intelligence has become the leading cybersecurity concern for Moroccan organizations, surpassing even cloud-related risks, according to the 2025 'Ausimètre' report. Conducted by the Moroccan Association of Information Systems Users (AUSIM) in collaboration with PwC, the annual survey paints a concerning picture of a cybersecurity landscape increasingly shaped by advanced and sophisticated threats. One in three companies reported that the integration of AI has expanded their attack surface, with many citing targeted and automated attacks such as machine learning-powered phishing, deepfakes, and polymorphic malware. Despite these risks, 42% of surveyed organizations acknowledged lacking internal policies to regulate the use of generative AI, while another 42% admitted to not providing sufficient employee training in its use. Alarmingly, 36% said their staff use these tools without supervision, raising fears of data breaches and malicious exploitation. A Moroccan cybersecurity official described the situation as critical, warning that 'without strict governance, AI becomes a significant vulnerability.' As organizations confront these new threats, many are turning to Zero Trust strategies to manage access control and limit potential breaches. The survey found that more than half of the respondents prioritize employee awareness as their primary line of defense, followed by identity and access management and broader security governance. These findings suggest a growing understanding that cybersecurity must go beyond technology and become a part of organizational culture. Read also: Transparency Maroc: CNSS Data Breach Exposes Critical Flaws in Morocco's Cybersecurity A major hurdle remains, however: investment. A third of Moroccan companies are still operating at a basic level of cybersecurity maturity, with limited budgets hindering their ability to respond to increasingly complex attacks. This underinvestment is also affecting the secure adoption of emerging technologies such as blockchain, robotics, and virtual reality, which remain largely unprotected in many organizations. Globally, the gap is widening. While 67% of cybersecurity leaders worldwide report AI-related risks, 78% have increased their cybersecurity budgets to address them. In Morocco, only 18% of surveyed organizations have followed suit. Cloud security also remains a weak point, with many companies lacking clearly defined responsibilities, proper contractual protections, and well-tested recovery plans. Still, the report shows cautious optimism. Around 60% of Moroccan businesses plan to harness AI to enhance threat detection, log analysis, and security operations. Experts warn, however, that these ambitions must be matched with clear internal policies, strong leadership, and a firm commitment to security governance. The AUSIM 2025 report concludes with a clear message: without bold governance and adequate investment, Moroccan organizations risk falling behind in the global fight against cybercrime.

Morocco Expands Innovation Hubs with New Technopark in Khemisset
Rabat– The northern Moroccan city of Khemisset has launched its first Technopark, a MAD 15.2 million project designed to support and accelerate young entrepreneurs in the fields of technology and innovation. The official groundbreaking ceremony took place on Thursday in the presence of Abdellatif Ennahli, Governor of the Khemisset Province, and Rachid El Abdi, President of the Rabat-Sale-Kenitra Regional Council. Already present in several Moroccan regions, this technology incubator is designed to boost local innovation, provide tailored support for project holders, and encourage the growth of high-potential startups. The initiative is part of the 2022–2027 Regional Development Program, with construction expected to be completed within ten months. Spread over an area of 2,027 m², the Technopark will house 34 offices for startups, three coworking spaces, a meeting room, and two proximity service areas. Once operational, it will accommodate up to 58 businesses in a collaborative environment designed to foster synergies, networking, and personalized support. The Khemisset Technopark is part of a broader regional strategy to decentralize innovation, as outlined in a framework agreement for the creation of regional tech incubators, along with a specific agreement establishing this first structure in the province. According to Lamia Benabdillah, Director of the Regional Project Implementation Agency (AREP) of Rabat-Sale-Kenitra, the Technopark in Khemisset will serve as a strategic tool to 'guide young entrepreneurs through their development journey,' while reinforcing local talent and promoting the region's key sectors of excellence. This project also reflects Morocco's broader vision for skills development and youth economic inclusion. Through various programs and partnerships, Morocco aims to create more opportunities for its youth, with a strong focus on entrepreneurship, technological training, and innovation as key drivers of employment and growth.
