The first agreement, concluded with the Ministry of Higher Education, foresees the training of approximately 4,000 professionals in the video game sector by 2029, including technicians, engineers, and researchers.
The goal is to strengthen the local production of video games and reduce reliance on imported content by developing a national industry focused on expertise and research.
Innovation, Startups, and Financing the Gaming Ecosystem
The second agreement, signed with CDG and SMIT, focuses on the "Gamification Lab" and "Recreational Gaming" programs. This initiative seeks to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship within the gaming ecosystem.
In this context, CDG will act as a facilitator between startups, governmental bodies, and investors to support financing and access to both national and international markets.
Protecting Children in the Digital Space
A memorandum was also signed with UNICEF to engage industry stakeholders around the safeguarding of children’s rights, ensuring a safer digital environment for young users.
Training and Inclusion through New Partnerships
The fourth agreement involves HP and the NGO eSTEM Morocco. This partnership plans to launch a training program for gaming professions via the HP Gaming Garage platform, accessible to young individuals holding the Youth Pass at youth centers across the Kingdom.
