Context

Mobilising the diaspora for the regions

As economic dynamics become increasingly regional and the strategic role of Moroccans of the World grows, the Kingdom, under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, places its diaspora at the heart of territorial development.

Several million strong, this community is a major lever — not only through remittances, but through skills, networks, business opportunities and investment. Yet only a limited share of this contribution flows into productive investment.

Agriculture, industry, tourism, cosmetics, innovation: Souss-Massa aims to establish itself as an investment destination open to the world and fully connected to its diaspora.

“Regarding the involvement of Moroccans living abroad in the development process — an aim to which We attach particular importance — it is clear that Morocco needs all its children and all the talent established abroad.”
His Majesty King Mohammed VI, May God assist Him — Royal Speech of 20 August 2022 (translation)
