The facility could be located near Casablanca, although the exact site has not been determined. Moises Amselem Elbaz, Inkas’ representative in Morocco, said the investment could range from MAD 50 million to MAD 400 million, depending on the scale of the project.
He did not give a timeline for a final decision but said he hoped for positive news soon.
The Marrakech Air Show ran from October 7 to 10, 2026, at the Royal Moroccan Air Force base in Marrakech.
At the show, Inkas presented two armored vehicles and its Anuri UAV, an AI-guided modular interceptor designed to counter first-person-view (FPV) drones, modified commercial unmanned aerial vehicles and other low-altitude threats to military forces, strategic sites and critical infrastructure.
The company also unveiled its homeland security ecosystem in the Middle East and North Africa for the first time. One of its main components, API-PNR, allows authorized authorities to receive and assess advance passenger information and passenger name record data before travelers arrive. The system is designed to help identify potential risks earlier and allocate border security resources more effectively.

Partnership with Morocco’s MEDZ
During the air show, Inkas also signed a memorandum of understanding with MEDZ, a subsidiary of Morocco’s CDG Group that develops and manages industrial and offshoring business parks.
According to the Canadian Embassy in Morocco, the agreement aligns with Canada’s efforts to strengthen supply-chain resilience and diversify sourcing in strategic sectors, including through the launch of the Defence Investment Agency.
The embassy said the agreement also reflected growing economic and technological ties between Canada and Morocco and opportunities for cooperation between their industrial sectors. It highlighted the potential for long-term partnerships, expertise transfer and innovation.
