In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, managing data securely and efficiently remains paramount for both governments and businesses. Recognizing this, Morocco has embarked on a significant step to enhance its digital infrastructure through a strategic partnership with AI71, a leading artificial intelligence (AI) firm.
The collaboration was officially sealed at the Gitex Global technology exhibition in Dubai. This event saw Morocco’s Ministry of Digital Transition and the United Arab Emirates’ Technology Research Council—AI71’s parent organization—come together to forge this new alliance.
This initiative is a key component of Morocco’s “Morocco Digital 2030” strategy, aimed at accelerating the country’s digital capabilities. By adopting AI71’s advanced AI solutions, such as the “Falcon” system, Moroccan enterprises and governmental bodies will gain access to state-of-the-art tools for data management, ensuring enhanced security and confidentiality of information.
Moreover, the partnership is designed to bolster the Moroccan startup ecosystem. Through this collaboration, emerging Moroccan companies will gain privileged access to cutting-edge technologies, boosting their competitive edge globally.
The potential benefits of integrating AI solutions are significant. According to a PwC study, the adoption of AI could potentially increase Africa’s GDP by $1.2 trillion by 2030, which translates to a 5.6% GDP growth. This partnership not only aims to secure data but also to increase transparency and compliance with international standards, fostering an environment conducive to digital innovation and growth for Moroccan startups.
