What is driving it

• Casablanca Finance City (CFC) 0% corporate tax for first five years, followed by 15% rate, making it one of Africa's most competitive digital investment jurisdictions
• Morocco's FDI surge to $6 billion in 2025 (+73% vs 2021) is increasingly targeting high-value-added sectors including digital services and aeronautics, reflecting a maturing tech ecosystem

What could go wrong

• Moderate corruption risk (99th out of 180 on Corruption Perceptions Index 2024) and administrative burdens can slow business registration and contract enforcement for foreign entrants
• Talent pipeline constraints — Morocco's literacy and skills-training gap may limit local workforce scalability for fast-growing tech operations without upfront training investment

Full analysis

Morocco is experiencing a sustained FDI surge, attracting $6 billion in foreign direct investment in 2025 — a ~73% increase since 2021 — driven by a modernised 2022 Investment Charter, robust EU trade ties, and World Cup 2030 co-hosting preparations. A revised EU-Morocco Association Agreement was provisionally applied in October 2025, cementing Morocco's role as the EU's primary Southern Neighbourhood trade partner with €62.2 billion in bilateral goods trade. In March 2025, the government pre-selected five international investors for six green hydrogen mega-projects worth $31.9 billion, while a MAD 120 billion ($13 billion) power-capacity doubling programme targets 52% renewables by 2030. Morocco now ranks second in Africa and the Arab world for FDI attractiveness, with priority sectors including renewable energy, green hydrogen, aeronautics, automotive, and digital technology.

Morocco's information technology sector is actively expanding, positioning the country as a competitive hub for digital innovation, with offshoring listed as one of the government's 2025 priority investment sectors alongside renewables and aeronautics. The 2022 Investment Charter provides financial incentives including geographic and sectoral bonuses for ICT investors, and the Casablanca Finance City (CFC) offers a 0% corporate tax rate for five years — a direct incentive for European tech ventures establishing a North Africa base.
