UEMF at the Launch of DomStars, a Turning Point for Agritech Innovation in Morocco

DomStars, the acceleration program dedicated to Agritech startups, marked a significant milestone for innovation and collaboration in the Moroccan agricultural sector. Led by Domseeds, the CVC subsidiary of Domaines Agricoles, this ambitious initiative aims to propel the integration of advanced technologies in agriculture while fostering synergies between key players.

At the heart of DomStars are three fundamental objectives:

• Encourage startups to push the boundaries of innovation.
