Morocco has climbed to 88th in the Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2025, making it the 9th-ranked startup ecosystem in Africa, driven by strong growth in Casablanca and Rabat.
Who said innovation is confined to Western laboratories? Hanane Sanoussi, a daughter of Tangier who grew up between Essaouira and Agadir, has proven that innovation can just as powerfully emerge from the East. The journey was far from easy for a woman who chose to venture into the world of technology and artificial intelligence in a male-dominated environment. Yet with every step, she showed the world that creativity knows no boundaries—and belongs to no one alone.
Founded in 2001 in Casablanca, the Technopark has established itself as a key player in the development of tech startups in Morocco. Over two decades, it has successfully built a dynamic ecosystem, supported thousands of entrepreneurs, and expanded to several regions across the country. More than just an incubator, it has become a catalyst for innovation and the internationalization of young Moroccan startups.
