A new financing mechanism for Moroccan digital startups has reached a key stage following the publication of Decree No. 2.26.576 on August 3, 2026, the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform said.
The Startup Catalytic Fund, launched by the ministry and managed by Tamwilcom, will enable 347 million dirhams to be invested over three years in venture capital funds that invest in startups operating in the digital sector, according to a ministry statement.
The mechanism is based on a cooperation agreement with the Mohammed VI Investment Fund and CDG. Nine management companies have been shortlisted, with the selected funds expected to mobilize nearly 2.5 billion dirhams for Moroccan startups, the same source said.
The initiative is designed to use public investment as a catalyst for attracting more private capital and strengthening Morocco’s venture capital ecosystem over the long term.
Minister of Digital Transition and Administration Reform Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni chaired the signing in Rabat on November 21, 2025, of an agreement bringing together her department, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Mohammed VI Investment Fund, CDG and Tamwilcom, the statement recalled.
The initiative, which is part of the implementation of the Morocco Digital 2030 strategy, marked the launch of a catalytic mechanism dedicated to supporting startup investment funds.
At the time, Seghrouchni stressed the importance of strengthening Morocco’s innovation ecosystem through modern and competitive mechanisms capable of attracting more capital, according to the statement.
She also noted that the mechanism would help reduce investor risk and support startups from the seed stage through to growth.
The partnership implements the Royal Guidelines calling for the strengthening of Morocco’s digital sovereignty and the accelerated emergence of a national innovation ecosystem.
The initiative also contributes to positioning Morocco among countries making determined investments in technology capital, strengthening its position as a regional hub and advancing its ambition for sustainable and competitive growth, the ministry concluded.
