Agadir Technopark project situated in Morocco’s southern Atlantic coast in the Souss Massa region is making headway towards completion with construction works now having reached a progress rate of 70%.

The aim for the project
The Agadir Technopark is intended to support the dynamic of entrepreneurship and innovation in the southern region of Morocco in accordance with the 2014-2020 Industrial Acceleration Plan in the Souss-Massa region launched by HM King Mohammed VI in Agadir.
The plan concerns the creation of approximately 24,000 jobs in the said region, which will become a platform for processing agricultural products for Morocco and Africa at large.
Rich in its human capital, cultural heritage, and economic attractiveness, the new Technopark solidifies the position of the Agadir Souss-Massa region as a competitive economic pole and aims to compete with the greatest powers at the national and African level in terms of entrepreneurship and innovation.
