Oracle Opens R&D Center in Casablanca, Paves Way for Morocco's Digital Leap
Rabat – Morocco's ambitions in tech took a new step forward this week with the official opening of Oracle's new research and development center in Casablanca. Located in CasaNearshore Park, the high-tech facility will host over 1,000 Moroccan engineers, developers, and technicians by 2027. Speaking at the launch, Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch called the center 'a cornerstone in Morocco's plan to place digital innovation at the heart of its national project.' 'Morocco is moving with purpose to boost its role as a regional tech hub,' Akhannouch said. 'This center reflects our commitment to invest in innovation, digital sovereignty, and talent.' The initiative aligns with the broader goals of the Digital Morocco 2030 strategy, 'which aims to turn technology into a force for economic growth and social equity,' he added. The roadmap, introduced last September, sets out to modernize public services, reduce inequality, and support the emergence of a new generation of Moroccan tech professionals. 'This is where young Moroccans build their future' Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Minister of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, shares the same vision. 'There's pride in seeing what's happening here,' she said. 'We're not just cutting a ribbon. We're meeting young Moroccans who are creating technologies that will travel far beyond our borders.' She shared figures that show the project's growth, saying that 300 Moroccan professionals are already working at the center. 'That number will triple in the next two years. And I'm not even counting interns. We have so many bright minds learning and contributing here every day,' added the minister. For Seghrouchni, this site represents more than a mere office building. 'It's a space where Moroccan talent can take root and expand. Oracle is offering real support to help young people sharpen their digital skills. That matters.' Pascal Sero, Oracle's Vice President of Research and Development, looked back on the journey that led to this moment. 'We started with four or five engineers in Morocco,' he said. 'Now we have 600. That didn't happen by accident.' He credited the country's education system and the drive of Moroccan professionals. 'The engineers we've hired here have the expertise and the creativity. We've seen real commitment, and that's what allowed us to grow.' For Sero, the center also answers a deeper question about talent mobility. 'I'm proud that we've brought back Moroccan engineers who left the country looking for opportunity. They now realize they can build world-class technology right here, at home. That's a win for them, for us, and for Morocco.' Oracle's partnership with Morocco stretches far beyond hiring. According to Akhannouch, the company will also support the training and certification of 20,000 Moroccan students through university partnerships, planting further seeds for the country's digital ecosystem.
