According to BlockBeats, Morocco has announced the launch of its 'Digital Morocco 2030' strategy, allocating a budget of $1.1 billion. The initiative aims to transform the country into a global digital hub through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology. By 2030, the strategy seeks to create 240,000 new jobs in the digital sector, increase digital export revenues to 40 billion dirhams (approximately $4.15 billion), and boost the overall contribution of the digital economy to 100 billion dirhams (around $10.36 billion).
The Moroccan government plans to utilize blockchain technology to develop a unified administrative service portal, which will manage services related to healthcare, education, and social security. Additionally, AI systems will be employed to analyze and process data in real-time, enhancing the quality of these services. The strategy also includes increasing 5G coverage to 70% of the country's land area, establishing 3,000 startups, and attracting global AI and blockchain technology companies to set up operations in Morocco, thereby contributing to the nation's growing tech ecosystem.
