Meeting under the theme “What role for Fez Smart Factory in the development of Industry 4.0 in Morocco?”

“Fez Smart Factory”, in partnership with UNIDO, is organizing on May 10, 2022 at the Euromed University of Fes Campus (UEMF), a meeting on the theme “What role for Fez Smart Factory (FSF) in the development of Industry 4.0 in Morocco”, dedicated to promoting the FSF project to industrialists and presenting the results of the survey conducted by the project among industrialists to identify their needs for improving the performance of their industrial units through Industry 4.0.

The FSF sustainable innovation project oriented towards “Industry 4.0” is developed by UEMF in partnership with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Fès‑Meknès Regional Council, the Digital Development Agency (ADD), the Fès‑Meknès branch of the General Confederation of Moroccan Companies (CGEM) and the company Alten Delivery Center Maroc.

In the long run, the FSF project is expected to generate more than 5 billion MAD in investments and more than 5,000 highly skilled direct jobs, relying on UEMF’s expertise, its state‑of‑the‑art platforms (the country’s largest 3D printing platform and the first School of Digital Engineering and Artificial Intelligence in Africa) and its laboratories specialized in various industrial and energy sectors.

Endowed with a budget envelope of around 30 million dollars, FONZID aims to strengthen the model of sustainable industrial zones and contribute to improving productivity and the environmental and social performance of industrial zones. FONZID also intends to expand the supply of industrial land meeting investors’ needs in terms of location, quality of infrastructure, support services and competitive prices, thereby contributing to increased private investment and job creation.
