In a bid to bolster Morocco’s ambitious digital infrastructure endeavours, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) is set to host a high-profile delegation of Moroccan government officials and industry leaders. Scheduled for February 10-21, the delegation’s visit will encompass key tech hubs in Austin, TX, and Silicon Valley, CA.
The 15-member delegation will engage in a series of meetings and site visits aimed at exploring cutting-edge solutions in areas such as e-government services, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. Additionally, they will liaise with state and local authorities to glean insights into best practices for deploying these technologies.
Against the backdrop of Morocco’s burgeoning digital landscape, characterised by the expansion of smart cities and enhanced rural digital connectivity, U.S. firms are poised to play a pivotal role. The forthcoming USTDA public business briefing in Austin on February 13 presents a prime opportunity for American companies to learn about Morocco’s procurement priorities and forthcoming commercial prospects. Interested parties can register for the event via the USTDA website.
Morocco’s digital evolution aligns with broader global trends towards urbanisation and the imperative for robust digital infrastructure. Leveraging U.S. expertise in developing secure and innovative solutions, this reverse trade mission underscores the U.S. government’s commitment to the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment. By facilitating transformative projects, the initiative aims to bridge the infrastructure gap in emerging economies.
