Qatar is showing increasing interest in the Moroccan market for renewable energy, electricity, and electronics, as part of a new dynamic of economic cooperation between the two countries. In a meeting held in Doha between Mohamed bin Ahmed bin Tawar Al Kuwari, First Vice-President of the Qatar Chamber of Commerce, and a delegation from the National Federation of Electricity, Electronics, and Renewable Energies (FENELEC) led by Ali Al Harthi, both parties expressed their desire to deepen bilateral partnerships and place the private sector at the heart of this strategic collaboration.
Al Kuwari emphasized that “the Qatari business community is keenly interested in investment opportunities in Morocco,” noting that the Kingdom “represents a promising market conducive to forming sustainable industrial alliances.” He recalled that trade volume between the two countries reached nearly 988 million riyals, approximately 2.77 billion dirhams, over the past year, and urged for this figure to be increased through the establishment of more structured partnerships.
The meeting identified several priority areas for cooperation, particularly in renewable energies, electric mobility, battery production, storage technologies, and smart grids. The Qatari official praised the incentives offered to foreign investors in Morocco, describing the Moroccan regulatory framework as “one of the most attractive in the region.” He also affirmed the Qatar Chamber of Commerce’s readiness to support Moroccan investors eager to explore the Qatari market.
For his part, Ali Al Harthi recalled the deep historical and economic ties between the two kingdoms, stressing the necessity of moving towards concrete industrial cooperation. According to him, Qatar possesses financial and technological strength capable of supporting the growth of a burgeoning Moroccan clean energy industry.
“The Moroccan market, competitive and well-structured, serves as a strategic gateway to the African continent,” he stated, inviting Qatari companies to invest in the electrical, electronic, and renewable sectors, while highlighting that the Moroccan battery industry is already exporting to Europe, America, and Africa.
