The comprehensive agenda included a series of high-level meetings with leaders of international companies actively investing in startups, information technology, and artificial intelligence.
The overarching objective of this mission was to showcase Morocco's compelling value proposition and the promising prospects it offers as a strategic gateway for investment in Africa.
