This new program comes as part of a strategic partnership between the Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication, and the Chinese tech giant Huawei, which is supporting Morocco’s efforts to develop its video game ecosystem and esports. The program aims to assist Moroccan startups and open new horizons for them both locally and internationally.
In a speech delivered during the exhibition’s opening, the Minister of Youth, Culture, and Communication, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, emphasized that most startups in this sector are small and medium-sized enterprises.

According to the announced data, the benefiting companies from this program are from various Moroccan cities and operate in diverse fields, including game development, educational games, and community platforms. They are expected to benefit from a general cloud capacity, which will help strengthen their infrastructure and improve the quality of their products.
The program also stipulates the provision of precise technical guidance and practical training in cloud computing technologies, in addition to facilitating access to a wide network of investors and international partners in this field.
