Morocco unveils national AI roadmap
‘Maroc IA 2030’ aims to modernize public services, boost innovation and drive digital-led economic growth
RABAT, Morocco (MNTV) — Morocco is preparing to launch a national artificial intelligence roadmap designed to accelerate digital transformation, modernize public services and strengthen the country’s economic competitiveness by the end of the decade.
The strategy, titled Maroc IA 2030, seeks to organize and expand Morocco’s AI ecosystem, improve interoperability across government digital systems and position artificial intelligence as a core driver of innovation, DigWatch reported ahead of the “AI Made in Morocco” event in Rabat.
A key pillar of the roadmap is the establishment of Al Jazari Institutes, a nationwide network of AI centers of excellence intended to link academic research with innovation, industry needs and regional economic development.
Officials said the roadmap emphasizes technological sovereignty, responsible and trusted use of AI, workforce skills development, support for domestic innovation and balanced territorial deployment, avoiding fragmented or uneven adoption of new technologies.
The initiative builds on the Digital Morocco 2030 strategy introduced in 2024, which places artificial intelligence at the heart of the country’s digital policy framework.
Authorities estimate that the combined digital and AI strategies could create around 240,000 jobs in the digital sector and generate nearly 10 billion US dollars in gross domestic product by 2030, while improving Morocco’s standing in international AI readiness rankings.
Additional measures outlined in the roadmap include the creation of a General Directorate for Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies to oversee policy implementation, as well as plans to develop an Arab-African regional digital hub in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme.
Officials said the overarching objective is to foster sustainable, inclusive and responsible digital innovation while strengthening Morocco’s long-term economic resilience.
