Morocco Showcases Tech Innovation at CES 2025, Strengthens US Economic Ties
Morocco is making a significant impact at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, demonstrating its growing technological capabilities and commitment to international partnerships. The country's presence at the world's premier technology event, running from January 7-10, highlights its expanding role in autonomous mobility, digital services, and connected systems.
Key Moroccan institutions, including the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE), Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), the Deposit and Management Fund (CDG), École Centrale Casablanca, and the Digital Development Agency (ADD), are representing the nation's interests at the event. Their participation underscores Morocco's strategic focus on future-oriented sectors such as electronics, digital innovation, and electric mobility.
The country's exhibition space in the "Africa Pavilion," inaugurated by CTA Tech President Kinsey Fabrizio and CES Show Director John Kelly, serves as a platform for showcasing Morocco's technological advancement. The nation's burgeoning startup ecosystem, particularly in agritech, energy, and health tech sectors, is receiving considerable attention.
Morocco's automotive sector has demonstrated remarkable growth, with exports surging by 30% last year to reach $14 billion. The industry's ecosystem, comprising three OEM manufacturers and over 270 suppliers, continues to attract global investment. The country is further cementing its position in sustainable transportation with the development of Africa's first Gigafactory for electric vehicles.
AMDIE is utilizing the CES platform to conduct strategic discussions with international companies, focusing on addressing gaps in Morocco's industrial ecosystem, particularly in components like suspension systems, LCD screens, and cameras.
The U.S.-Morocco economic partnership, strengthened by a 2004 Free Trade Agreement, has yielded significant results. In 2023, U.S. foreign direct investment in Morocco reached $720 million, positioning the United States as the country's leading foreign investor. Bilateral trade has shown remarkable growth, with Moroccan exports to the U.S. increasing by 40% from 2021 to 2023, reaching $1.36 billion, while imports from the U.S. grew by 61% to $5.35 billion.
This collaboration at CES 2025 represents another step forward in Morocco's journey toward technological advancement and economic diversification, while reinforcing its position as a key partner in global innovation and trade.
