Casablanca, Morocco – American technology titan Oracle has inaugurated a pivotal new Research and Development (R&D) center in Casablanca, marking a significant expansion of its global footprint and a robust commitment to fostering digital expertise within the Kingdom of Morocco.

The state-of-the-art facility, a seven-story structure located in Morocco’s economic capital, was officially launched during a ceremony attended by high-ranking officials, underscoring the strategic importance of the initiative. Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch led the Moroccan delegation, joined by Minister of Digital Transition Ghita Mezzour. Representing Oracle was Vice President Craig Stephen.

Fostering Innovation in Key Tech Areas

The Casablanca center is designed to be a nexus of innovation, specializing in several critical areas that are shaping the future of technology globally. These include artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, cybersecurity, big data, and graph processing. The focus on these domains positions the Moroccan team at the forefront of developing solutions for Oracle’s vast international client base.

Currently, the R&D hub employs a team of 300 Moroccan engineers, developers, and technicians. These professionals are engaged in complex problem-solving and development activities that contribute directly to Oracle’s core technology offerings. The company has ambitious plans to substantially grow its workforce at the Casablanca center, aiming to double that figure to 1,000 by 2027. This expansion signifies a deepening reliance on Moroccan talent to drive global innovation.

Beyond direct employment, Oracle is investing significantly in building Morocco’s future digital workforce. A key component of its strategy involves a large-scale training program designed to equip the next generation of Moroccan tech professionals with essential skills. The company aims to train more than 20,000 Moroccan students across various digital disciplines.

This initiative is expected to have a transformative effect on the local tech ecosystem, creating a pool of highly skilled individuals capable of contributing to Morocco’s digital economy and attracting further investment in the sector. The training encompasses areas directly relevant to the R&D center’s focus, ensuring alignment between educational output and industry needs.

Alignment with “Morocco Digital 2030” Strategy

Oracle’s substantial investment and training commitment align closely with the Kingdom’s national digital transformation agenda, the “Morocco Digital 2030” strategy. This ambitious roadmap seeks to leverage technology to accelerate economic growth, improve public services, and position Morocco as a leader in the digital sphere, particularly within the African continent.

The establishment of the R&D center and the accompanying training program are seen as crucial steps in realizing the strategy’s objectives. By developing high-level expertise locally and integrating Moroccan teams into its global innovation engine, Oracle is helping to solidify Morocco’s role as a digital innovation hub for the continent. This effort aims to place Moroccan expertise at the center of Oracle’s global innovation efforts for designing AI and cloud-based solutions, a significant endorsement of the country’s potential.

Strategic Importance and Future Outlook

Morocco’s strategic location, growing pool of educated youth, and proactive government policies aimed at fostering the digital economy make it an attractive destination for global tech firms. Oracle’s decision to establish a major R&D base in Casablanca is a testament to these factors and represents a significant foreign direct investment in a high-value sector.

The presence of a leading global tech company like Oracle, with its focus on cutting-edge technologies such as AI and cloud computing, is expected to have a catalytic effect on the entire Moroccan tech landscape. It not only creates direct employment opportunities but also fosters a culture of innovation, encourages the development of specialized skills, and potentially attracts other international technology players.

The long-term vision is for the Casablanca R&D center to become a cornerstone of Oracle’s global innovation network, with Moroccan professionals playing a vital role in developing the technologies that will power the digital world for years to come. The goal of training 20,000 students simultaneously builds the talent pipeline necessary to sustain this growth and ensures that Morocco is well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the digital future.

In conclusion, Oracle’s inauguration of its Casablanca R&D center and its pledge to train a significant number of Moroccan students represent a landmark investment that underscores the increasing importance of Morocco as a player in the global technology arena and provides substantial momentum to the nation’s digital transformation ambitions.
