Morocco’s Generation AIoT
programme is entering a new phase of national expansion after recording more
than 2,118 applications and training 95 talents in Salé and Casablanca within
six months of its launch.
The programme, launched in
February 2026 through a strategic partnership between the Ministry of Digital
Transition and Administrative Reform, the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity
and ABA Technology, is designed to develop national skills in artificial
intelligence and Internet of Things technologies while supporting innovation,
employment and Morocco’s digital sovereignty.
The initiative forms part of
the ambitions of Maroc Digital 2030 and contributes to the implementation of
the “AI Made in Morocco” roadmap, with a focus on preparing young Moroccans for
technologies shaping the future economy, including Artificial Intelligence,
Agentic AI, Physical AI and IoT.
During a visit to the
Generation AIoT centre in Salé, Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in
charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, Amal El Fallah
Seghrouchni, reviewed the programme’s initial results six months after its
launch.
In Salé, the first class of
46 talents completed a four-month training and specialisation programme before
entering professional immersion on June 24.
All talents who have entered
the immersion phase are now participating in applied projects across sectors
including health, mining and industry, finance and logistics, scientific
research, education and digital technologies.
The early results have paved
the way for the programme’s national expansion, with new classes being opened
in Casablanca, Fez and Oujda in addition to Salé.
The expanded programme will
include three classes in Casablanca, two in Fez and two in Oujda, with
Generation AIoT targeting a capacity of 1,200 trained talents annually from
February 2027.
The programme combines
technical training with practical application, allowing participants to develop
skills while working on concrete projects in professional environments.
The expansion is intended to
strengthen Morocco’s national pool of AI and IoT talent and create a pipeline
of skilled professionals capable of contributing to technological innovation
and productive transformation.
Generation AIoT is being
implemented within Morocco’s broader digital transformation agenda, which
places youth skills development and access to emerging technology opportunities
at the centre of efforts to build a competitive digital economy.
