Morocco
Morocco sits at the crossroads of Africa and Europe, with Tangier’s port handling more container traffic than any other Mediterranean port and Casablanca anchoring the continent’s largest financial center outside South Africa. The country produces 75% of the world’s phosphate, runs one of Africa’s most advanced automotive manufacturing sectors, and has built a renewable energy infrastructure that includes the world’s largest concentrated solar farm. This is where Moroccan businesses meet buyers looking for them, at home and across the region.
