UEMF at the launch of DomStars, a turning point for Agritech innovation in Morocco

DomStars, the acceleration program dedicated to Agritech startups, marked an important step for innovation and collaboration in the Moroccan agricultural sector. Led by Domseeds, the CVC subsidiary of Les Domaines Agricoles, this ambitious initiative aims to drive the integration of advanced technologies into agriculture while fostering synergies among key players.

At the heart of DomStars are three fundamental objectives:

• Encourage startups to push the boundaries of innovation.
