Post: Digital Morocco 2030 : le Royaume mise sur le numérique pour dynamiser son économie

Morocco is embarking on an unprecedented digital transformation with the ‘Digital Morocco 2030’ initiative, unveiled by Minister Ghita Mezzour, in charge of the Digital Transition. This plan, with a budget of 11 billion dirhams (1 billion euros) between 2024 and 2026, aims to make the country a digital leader in Africa and to boost its economy through several strategic axes.

An ambitious plan for digital employment

Job creation is at the heart of this strategy. The Moroccan government plans to train 100,000 young people per year in digital professions, with an overall target of 240,000 direct jobs by 2030. Chakib Alj, president of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises, stressed the importance of this initiative to combat youth unemployment. The training rate is expected to triple, from 14,000 young people trained in 2022 to 100,000 in 2027. ‘Digital is a key sector for employability in Morocco,’ said Alj.
