AI71 Partners with Morocco to Drive Digital Transformation Under Digital Morocco 2030 Strategy

AI71, which develops transformative industry solutions powered by the Technology Innovation Institute’s Falcon AI models, signed a deal with Morocco’s Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform at GITEX Global today to partner in advancing digital transformation in Morocco in support of their recently announced Digital Morocco 2030 strategy.

The partnership agreement was signed by His Excellency Faisal Al Bannai, the Secretary General of the Advanced Technology Research Council, and Her Excellency Ghita Mezzour, the Delegate-Minister to the Head of Government in charge of Digital Transition and Administration Reform at the Dubai World Trade Center.

As a next step, the ministry and AI71 will work together to advance Morocco’s digital transformation agenda by exploring the potential of adopting AI solutions to enhance citizens’ access to government services and ensure a more accessible and user-centric experience for the public.

We are honored to support Digital Morocco 2030, and to bring our AI expertise and solutions to even more people. Morocco’s government and startups have the power to supercharge the national economy. Empowering them with the right digital solutions will help ensure many more people can benefit from AI’s transformative power. We look forward to seeing Morocco move forward on its ambitious journey to digitization and further solidify its position as a leader within the region.

In addition to helping enhance government services, AI71 is also awarding $100,000 USD worth of compute power to four Morocco-based AI startups following the conclusion of a successful joint competition with Morocco’s Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, which was designed to foster AI innovation in Morocco.

The competition kicked off at GITEX Africa earlier this year, where the ministry invited 200 start-ups to present their solutions to AI71 for a chance to be supported with compute power. In total, 35 AI startups participated in the competition, and four exceptional winners were selected based on novelty, technical feasibility, and growth potential: TOUM AI, Heyy.ma, PostGoo, and Thinkable.

Each will be given compute power via AI71’s API Hub, which provides easy, affordable access to the Falcon series of AI models, enabling them to accelerate development, experimentation, and solution-building with AI.

AI71 will monitor the winning startups’ progress and continue to explore potential opportunities for further funding, support, and collaboration.
