Euromed University of Fes hosts a strategic event on AI and signs a structuring agreement for Industry X.0

Euromed University of Fes (UEMF) hosted on Tuesday 10 March 2026 a high-level event dedicated to the role of artificial intelligence in the digital transformation of organizations, with a particular focus on Industry X.0 and health industries. Organized with the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, with the participation of several institutional and industrial actors, this meeting was marked by the signing of the Jazari Industrie X.0 agreement, an important milestone for the development of the innovation ecosystem in Morocco.

This initiative is part of the national momentum driven by the “AI Made in Morocco” program, aimed at positioning artificial intelligence as a strategic lever for competitiveness, innovation and technological sovereignty.

A central point of the day, the signing of the Jazari Industrie X.0 agreement symbolizes the desire to strengthen synergies between academic research, industry and public institutions in order to accelerate technology transfer and the valorization of scientific research into concrete industrial applications. This agreement aims in particular to promote the emergence of an integrated ecosystem able to transform research results into high-impact economic and societal innovations. It also aspires to strengthen collaboration between universities, startups, industrialists and investors in order to structure complete value chains ranging from fundamental research to industrial deployment.

The signing ceremony was attended by several institutional and academic personalities, notably Mme. Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Delegate Minister to the Head of Government in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, M. Ryad Mezzour, Minister of Industry and Trade, and M. Mostapha Bousmina, President of Euromed University of Fes. Their participation testifies to the strategic importance given to AI in the transformation of the Moroccan economy and in strengthening national technological sovereignty. On the sidelines of the event, the guests also benefited from a tour of the Euromed University of Fes campus, allowing them to discover the scientific infrastructures, technological platforms and research centers dedicated to advanced technologies and innovation.

Through this meeting, Euromed University of Fes reaffirms its role as an academic and scientific platform serving Morocco’s technological transformation, actively contributing to the structuring of a national artificial intelligence ecosystem capable of generating economic, industrial and societal value.

This event thus constitutes a further step in the consolidation of an ambitious and operational national vision for AI, based on collaboration between public institutions, academia and the private sector, in order to make technological innovation a sustainable driver of the Kingdom’s development.

In parallel with the signing of this agreement, the meeting provided a platform for strategic exchange and reflection bringing together public decision-makers, researchers, industrialists, entrepreneurs and investors. Two thematic panels structured the discussions:

The first panel, devoted to technology transfer, AI and value creation in industrial chains, explored the conditions necessary to move from academic research to large-scale industrialization. The discussions notably addressed mechanisms for valorizing research, technology readiness levels (TRL), interfaces between universities and industry, as well as the role of AI as an accelerator of transformation of industrial processes.

The second panel focused on health industries, analyzing how artificial intelligence transforms the entire value chain of the sector, from biomedical and pharmaceutical research to the improvement of care pathways. The discussions also addressed regulatory, ethical and technological issues related to the deployment of AI solutions in medical and industrial environments.
