Upcoming launch of Fez Smart Factory activities

On January 16, 2025 at 09:30, the Euromed University of Fes (UEMF) campus will host the launch ceremony of the activities of Fez Smart Factory. This event will mark the official kick-off of this innovative ecosystem, under the theme “ What support is needed for the emergence of an innovative intelligent industry in Morocco? ”. On this occasion, the partners and stakeholders involved will reveal their ambitions to support the transformation of Morocco's industrial fabric through Industry 4.0 technologies.

Led by a consortium bringing together UEMF, the Fès-Meknès Regional Council, the regional CGEM, and Alten Delivery Center, with the support of strategic partners such as the Ministry of Industry, UNIDO and the Digital Development Agency, this project benefits from total funding of 111.3 million MAD, including a significant portion from the Sustainable Industrial Zones Fund (FONZID). With modern infrastructure on a 6.6-hectare site, the project will include innovative services such as a 4.0 incubator and accelerator, as well as a pilot school-factory.

Fez Smart Factory aims to support project leaders and startups in creating state-of-the-art industrial units and to transform existing companies into smart factories. Over the next two decades, this ecosystem intends to generate 200 startups, modernize 275 industrial units, and become a major catalyst for Moroccan industry while training thousands of talents in new technologies.
