Chamber of commerce announces Moroccan business mission to bring 25 foreign investors.

This was disclosed following talks held recently in Douala between experts from Casablanca Finance City, CFC, and officials of the Chamber of Commerce as part of preparations for the upcoming CFC Africa Tour economic mission.

According to CCIMA, the discussions focused on identifying priority sectors and projects that could strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries and facilitate Moroccan direct investment. 

The mission is also expected to encourage the signing of commercial agreements and the creation of partnerships between Moroccan and local businesses.

According to organisers, the sectors targeted include agro-food processing, agro-industry, infrastructure, ecotourism, logistics and transport, renewable energy and mining. 

The initiative aims to connect businesses from both countries around projects capable of attracting investment and supporting economic activity.

Officials from Casablanca Finance City said the choice of destination was linked to the country's position within the Central African region and the diversity of its economy.

Director of Institutional Affairs and African Partnerships at Casablanca Finance City, Hicham Chaoudri said the organisation considered the country a strategic partner for regional business development.

According to Chaoudri, the country had a diversified and dynamic economy and longstanding relations with Moroccan institutions and businesses.

“It was natural that we could come here. In addition, our relations with the government and the private sector are very strong,” Chaoudri said.

The Chamber of Commerce has called on local businesses to prepare projects capable of attracting investors ahead of the November mission. Officials believe the visit could create opportunities for companies seeking financing, technical partnerships and new markets.

The President of the Industries and Public Works Section at CCIMA, Daniel Tala Kuate, said economic operators should position themselves to benefit from the initiative.

He added that the mission presented opportunities for businesses, particularly those operating in construction and public works.

“Economic operators, particularly those in the construction sector, are resourceful. They will know how to present their projects and assess the opportunities they can draw from other offers,” Tala Kuate said.

Preparatory work is also underway to ensure projects presented to investors are sufficiently developed. According to stakeholders, this process will help facilitate discussions on financing and investment mobilisation.

The National Coordinator of the Growth Sectors Network Centre, Dr Simon François Yonga Bakalag, said project maturity would be a key requirement for attracting investors.

“The projects must be matured and this is the role that the Centre of Growth Sector Networks must play in terms of working capital, direct investment and investment mobilisation to strengthen weak links in our value chains,” he said.

At the end of the exploratory phase, organisers plan to identify 25 Moroccan companies that will participate in the November economic mission.
