Building on the “Rabat Roadmap”
This new edition is a continuation of the 2025 conference, which resulted in the development of the “Rabat Roadmap” dedicated to financing growth and energy transition.
The discussions focus notably on reindustrialization, global value chains, investment platforms, and new levers for sustainable development.
Morocco: A Trusted Regional Hub for Investment

With its institutional stability, modern infrastructure, and African roots, the Kingdom is solidifying its position among the most credible destinations for hosting new global economic dynamics.
