In today's digital world, data management is a top priority for governments and businesses alike. Implementing solutions like artificial intelligence is crucial to tackling the challenges of information security and confidentiality.

Morocco will accelerate its digital transformation by leveraging the expertise of AI71, a company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI). On Monday, October 14, a partnership agreement was signed in Dubai during the Gitex Global technology exhibition between Morocco's Ministry of Digital Transition and the United Arab Emirates' Technology Research Council, which owns AI71.

Under the agreement, Morocco will leverage AI-based solutions developed by AI71. In addition to integrating these advanced technologies, the initiative aims to support Moroccan startups by providing them with privileged access to innovative solutions through partnerships with the Emirati company. The goal is to boost these young companies' competitiveness on the international stage.

This partnership is part of the "Morocco Digital 2030" strategy and strengthens the country's digital transformation efforts. It particularly focuses on adopting AI solutions like "Falcon," which will provide Moroccan businesses and institutions with effective tools for data management and protection. These solutions will enhance information confidentiality and security, addressing the current challenges of handling personal data.

The management of sensitive data is a critical issue for Moroccan startups. AI, particularly through AI71's models, could offer automated solutions to secure data, increase transparency, and ensure compliance with international standards while fostering digital innovation and growth for startups. According to a study by PwC, AI adoption could generate up to $1.2 trillion in Africa by 2030, representing a 5.6% increase in the continent's GDP.
