The presentation note outlines several areas of the Kingdom’s digital transition: offshoring, infrastructure and connectivity, attracting major cloud providers, support for startups, the AI Made in Morocco 2030 roadmap and the JAZARI network, and skills and talent. For each area, it details the results achieved and the measures planned for 2027.
Offshoring leads the review of results. According to the note, export revenue in the sector reached 27.08 billion dirhams in 2025, up from 15.78 billion dirhams in 2022, an average annual growth rate of 19.75%. The figure exceeded the 25 billion-dirham target set for 2026. Employment reached 167,380 jobs in 2025, with more than 37,380 net jobs created since 2022 and average annual growth of 8.79%.
The targets for 2030 are 40 billion dirhams in exports and 270,000 jobs. Compared with the 2025 results, the sector must therefore add 12.92 billion dirhams in exports and just over 102,600 jobs.

For 2027, the note identifies offshoring as the sector’s leading source of skilled employment. Two measures are planned: international outreach and promotion of Morocco to attract new investment projects across the country, and full digitalization of the application process for incentives under the Offshoring Morocco offer. The latter will connect information systems operated by the General Directorate of Taxes (DGI), the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) and the National Agency for the Promotion of Employment and Skills (ANAPEC). This will allow applicants to submit and track requests in real time while reducing the number of supporting documents required.
Infrastructure: from 5G networks to a sovereign cloud
“Digital sovereignty starts with infrastructure: networks, data centers and cloud,” the document states. Among the results achieved, 5G coverage has reached 38% of the population, with more than 9,000 radio sites deployed and 2.63 million users. The target is to extend coverage to 70% of the population by 2030.
The review highlights two data center projects. The first stems from a framework agreement signed on April 7, 2026, for the Igoudar green data center campus in Dakhla, with a planned capacity of 500 megawatts. The second follows a protocol signed with Nexus Core Systems Morocco for a sovereign AI Factory combining a high-performance computing data center, a center of excellence and an innovation hub.
For 2027, the government plans to issue a circular establishing the national “Cloud First” policy. Under the policy, cloud services will become the default option for all new digital projects launched by public administrations. The migration of their information systems to secure national infrastructure will be supported by guidelines and standards, while public procurement will favor energy-efficient data centers.

The note also announces plans to launch the Jazari-Root sovereign data center in Rabat, with a capacity of 50 megawatts, during the 2027-2029 period. It will serve as the central root of the Jazari network and provide secure hosting for the state’s strategic data. The government also plans to establish an integrated national cybersecurity system and store Moroccan citizens’ data in a sovereign national cloud.
On connectivity, the National Broadband Program aims to reach 2,000 localities with limited or no internet access by the end of 2027. The government will also publish a general policy guidance document for the telecommunications sector through 2030, setting two targets: 5.6 million fiber-to-the-home lines and 70% 5G coverage. The note also sets out a goal of “connectivity for all,” including fiber-optic access for 80% of homes, satellite connections in remote areas, 4G coverage across all areas, 5G deployment and the creation of 500 digital spaces for citizens.
Startups: funding moves toward contracts
The 2026 review records nearly 1.2 billion dirhams mobilized for startups through two funding offers. The Startup Venture Building offer, worth 758 million dirhams, received 102 expressions of interest and selected six support organizations. The Venture Capital offer, worth 400 million dirhams, shortlisted nine management companies from 47 applications, including 33 international candidates.
The Technopark network ran five editions of its Boost Up Lab program, which received 1,177 applications and supported 84 winning startups. The network also accelerated 18 startups and generated 1,800 jobs in 2025, the year its Essaouira site opened.
The Morocco 300 initiative, held alongside Gitex Africa 2026, selected 300 startups from 744 applicants and generated more than 1,000 business meetings. Some 26.8% of participating startups received fundraising commitments. The DigiTPME program, meanwhile, trained 300 very small and medium-sized enterprises in three pilot regions and provided support to 120 of them.
In 2027, the Venture Building offer is expected to support 840 innovative startups, from the idea stage through fundraising preparation and international expansion. The government plans to sign contracts with the shortlisted management companies to launch venture capital funds covering seed funding and Series A rounds. The Technopark network will also expand with a new site in Oujda.

Artificial intelligence has its own roadmap, built around the Jazari network. The first planned initiative for 2027 is the development of a national framework for trustworthy and responsible AI, bringing together innovation, ethics, security and personal data protection.
The government plans to develop national AI models adapted to Darija, Amazigh and Arabic, including GemMaroc for language processing and IsMa for automatic transcription. This work will be coordinated with the research and development laboratory established with French company Mistral AI.
At the institutional level, the note announces the establishment of the Jazari Root Institute and the first three thematic and regional institutes in the network. It also provides for the rollout of the Digital for Sustainable Development initiative with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). A program called IA Maroc will also be launched, focusing on the social state, early detection of children at risk of dropping out of school and improvements to medical services. It will include AI training for 5,000 supervisors.
What about digital skills and talent?
In education and training, 549 programs received accreditation in 2024-2025, including 416 new programs. Enrollment rose from 10,712 students in 2022-2023 to 22,779 in 2025-2026, an increase of 112.7%. This growth has been supported by 540 budgeted positions allocated to universities since 2024. The target is to increase annual graduates from 8,000 to 22,500 in 2027, with enrollment expected to reach 28,970 in 2026-2027.
The JobInTech program trained 1,000 young people during its pilot phase, followed by nearly 2,700 in its first nationwide expansion phase across 12 regions. The full rollout is intended to bring the cumulative number of young people trained to 14,000 by the end of 2027. In research, 350 doctoral scholarships have been allocated, of which 309 have been formalized through contracts. They cover cybersecurity, cryptology, quantum computing, AI and the digital transition. The target is to support 550 doctoral students.
A digital and AI training program for children aged 8 to 18 has reached 12 youth centers, trained 65 instructors and benefited 744 children. In 2027, the government plans to expand coding schools into additional regions, particularly Guelmim-Oued Noun, Dakhla-Oued Eddahab and Drâa-Tafilalet.

The final area is the digitalization of public administration. The rollout of the new version of the national Idarati portal has led to the publication of more than 2,400 administrative procedures and the listing of over 600 e-services. The note links this progress to Morocco’s rise of 11 places in the United Nations ranking on e-government development. Seven user service journeys have been supported through digitalization, while around 50 projects have been carried out with Digitallab in partnership with the CDG and the ministry responsible for national education. Nearly 600 civil servants have received training and awareness sessions across 115 administrations.
In 2027, Idarati is to be strengthened as a single point of access to public services, with more than 2,500 administrative procedures and over 700 e-services integrated into the portal. The government also plans to improve interoperability between information systems, strengthen data governance and quality, and monitor the progress of public administration digitalization projects and their alignment with Morocco Digital 2030. Communication and awareness campaigns will aim to encourage public administrations and users to adopt the new digital services.
