Morocco Commits MAD 1.3 Billion to Boost Startup Ecosystem Under Digital 2030 Plan
The funding will be allocated across the startup lifecycle. MAD 750 million ($81 million) is set aside for venture-building initiatives focused on supporting early-stage startup creation and growth.
Morocco has announced plans to invest MAD 1.3 billion (about $140 million) into its startup ecosystem under the Morocco Digital 2030 strategy, reinforcing its drive to become a leading digital and innovation hub in the region.
The announcement was made by Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Delegate Minister for Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, during the closing session of the fifth Digital Now Forum 2025 held in Casablanca.
The funding will be allocated across the startup lifecycle. MAD 750 million ($81 million) is set aside for venture-building initiatives focused on supporting early-stage startup creation and growth. An additional MAD 450 million ($49 million) will be directed toward venture capital to attract more private investment, while MAD 70 million ($7.6 million) will be used to expand and strengthen the country’s Technopark network.
According to Seghrouchni, Morocco is reinforcing its venture capital ecosystem through new financing instruments aimed at increasing private-sector participation and energizing entrepreneurship nationwide. Together, these measures are expected to support the creation of 1,000 startups by 2026, with a longer-term objective of reaching 3,000 startups by 2030.
The strategy goes beyond funding alone. The minister also pointed to initiatives designed to promote inclusive digital growth, including programs to boost digital access in rural areas and the rollout of Jazari Institutes, which are intended to nurture regional innovation hubs and strengthen local entrepreneurial ecosystems.
