The last mile is becoming a ground for innovation in Morocco. With the rise of delivery services, urban logistics, and local trades, electric micromobility is gradually establishing itself as an economic, ecological, and inclusive response. It is within this dynamic that the new partnership between Stellantis Morocco and Al Amana Microfinance was announced in Casablanca. The agreement has a clear goal: to make the FIAT TRIS electric tricycle accessible to very small businesses through a dedicated financing solution designed for professionals often excluded from traditional banking circuits. The system is designed to be quick, simple, and user-oriented: financing is directly…

The strong idea that underpins the entire project is clear: accelerating the inclusion of women in digital professions by creating a direct link between students and experienced professionals. It is around this ambition that the Ministry of Digital Transition and Capgemini are launching a national mentoring program, a new component of the “Digital Morocco 2030” strategy. This initiative is based on a simple principle: bridging the academic world with the realities of technology by entrusting senior executives and collaborators from Capgemini with the mentorship of students from public universities. These mentors, members of the Women in Leadership network, will share…
Morocco has finally made a tangible advance in its national gas future. In Tendrara, located in the Oriental region, teams from Sound Energy have successfully completed the very first injection of gas into the site’s collection network. This significant technical milestone paves the way for the commercialization of the first micro-LNG produced on Moroccan soil. This milestone marks the operational launch of the TE-5 Horst project. Gas from the TE-6 well is now safely flowing through the GGS system, following the final installation of the SCADA system. The operation is led by Mana Energy Ltd, the main operator of the…
Fifteen years after their adoption, the emission limits governing atmospheric discharges from Moroccan industrial activities are set to be revised. This initiative, led by the Ministry of Sustainable Development, aims to enhance health and environmental protection while considering economic constraints and climate change challenges. Air quality has become a major concern for the country. Industries—including phosphates, cement, steel, brick, ceramics, agri-food, and sugar—are responsible for releasing harmful gases such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and lead, along with fine particulate matter. These pollutants have a direct impact on human health and the environment, making the update of existing standards…
Morocco has officially transitioned from a state of water stress to one of scarcity, according to the Royal Institute for Strategic Studies (IRES). Access to drinking water, agricultural sustainability, and ecological balance are becoming uncertain, in a context where aquifers are depleting, reservoirs are draining, and rainfall is diminishing. The crisis is no longer temporary; it affects the very fundamentals of the development model. Since the 1960s, the annual allocation of freshwater per capita has decreased by more than four times, dropping from 2,500 m³ to less than 600 m³. In many rural areas, households rely almost exclusively on groundwater,…
The president of the National Observatory for Human Development (ONDH), Otmane Gair, emphasized Tuesday in New York that Morocco, in line with the Royal vision of a Social State, is undertaking a profound transformation of its tools for analyzing and monitoring human development. “This transformation is based on a multidimensional, localized, and forward-looking approach aimed at embedding a results-oriented culture and grounding public action on reliable, measurable data sourced from the field,” Mr. Gair stated during his visit leading an official delegation in the American metropolis, focused on strengthening cooperation between the Observatory and several specialized United Nations agencies. In…
The Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) is launching two new citizen consultations on its participatory digital platform “Ouchariko.ma”. These consultations aim to gather citizens’ perceptions and expectations and are part of CESE’s broader participatory approach in formulating its opinions, according to a statement from the Council. The first consultation focuses on continuous training in the private sector, which is regarded as a key lever for business competitiveness and worker employability. The second consultation addresses the issue of biodiversity in Morocco, which represents a potential for the country’s sustainable development but faces a range of challenges and threats due to…
During the XIIIth high-level meeting between Morocco and Spain, held on December 4, 2025, the Moroccan Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Leïla Benali, emphasized the strategic importance of energy relations between the two shores of the Strait. Speaking before the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations in Madrid, she stated that Rabat collaborates with “friendly and neighboring partners aware of shared regional responsibility” and that the two governments have been consulting regularly since 2021, both formally and informally, to enhance electrical connectivity. The minister reminded attendees that the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline, which was shut down in 2021 after several…
The Ministry of Energy Transition has launched an international prequalification process aimed at selecting operators to design and operate future national gas pipelines. This initiative marks the beginning of a strategic project to connect the gas terminals of Nador West Med to the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline, before extending the network to the industrial zones of Kenitra and Mohammedia. The procedure will follow a two-phase model in line with the framework of public-private partnership contracts. Candidates must demonstrate proven experience in constructing pressurized structures, executing complex civil engineering projects, as well as expertise in metering and safety systems. The Ministry emphasizes…
