This comes as Morocco graduates roughly 10,000 engineers and IT specialists every year, Internet penetration stands at 92.2%, and more than a dozen submarine cables connect it to the rest of the world. Just as importantly, Morocco has spent years giving technology companies something they value almost as much as talent: predictability. Through its Maroc IA 2030 strategy, the government has laid out a long-term roadmap for digital infrastructure and AI, making it easier for global companies to plan investments.
In the last two years, Morocco has attracted infrastructure investments from several global tech players. In 2024, Nokia opened an innovation centre in Salé, Morocco, and has continued to invest in the country. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon also expanded cloud infrastructure in Morocco. Recently, South Korea’s Naver said it was planning to build AI data centres in the North African country. Oracle’s latest move suggests those investments are becoming part of a pattern rather than isolated bets.
With a growing pool of engineers, Oracle plans to invest $140 million in the country by 2030 and wants nearly 1,000 employees by 2027, with almost half of those jobs based outside Casablanca and Rabat..
