To ensure a successful digital transformation, Morocco is prioritizing the development of a highly skilled workforce. The country is strategically partnering with government agencies and private sector organizations to address this critical need.

Morocco's Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform on Wednesday announced the signing of three partnership agreements to support the country's "Morocco Digital 2030" strategy. The agreements, with government ministries, public institutions, and private sector stakeholders, aim to accelerate Morocco's digital ambitions.

The first agreement, a program contract for 2024-2030, focuses on developing the outsourcing sector. Signatories include the Ministry Delegate for the Budget, the Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion, the Tanger Med Special Agency, and the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development. The goal is to boost service migration and position Morocco as a regional outsourcing leader.

The second agreement, funded by the Ministry of Digital Affairs, will launch a scholarship program for doctoral assistants. In partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education and the National Center for Scientific and Technical Research, the program will offer 550 scholarships worth 7,000 dirhams per month for three years. It aims to foster research and innovation in digital technology.

The third partnership, financed by the Ministry of Digital Transition, will promote research in advanced technologies and train a new generation of digital specialists. In collaboration with the Ministry of Economic Inclusion, the agreement seeks to strengthen national expertise in these critical areas.

These agreements align with the "Morocco Digital 2030" strategy, which aims to create 240,000 direct jobs in the digital sector and contribute 100 billion dirhams to GDP by 2030. Morocco is committed to becoming a key player in the global digital economy.
