The 11th German Moroccan Economic Forum

Morocco is increasingly positioning itself as a strategic business and investment location between Europe and Africa. Against the backdrop of global supply chain shifts, the growing importance of nearshoring, and massive investments in renewable energies and infrastructure, the Kingdom is becoming even more attractive to international companies. Particularly in the run-up to the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Morocco will co-host with Spain and Portugal, the implementation of large-scale projects in the areas of transport, energy, industry, tourism, and digitalization is accelerating.

EMA e.V. is taking advantage of this momentum to host the 11th German-Moroccan Business Forum from June 23–26, 2026. As part of this business delegation, participants will gain exclusive insights into current market developments and concrete business opportunities on the ground. A diverse program of conferences, B2B discussions, company visits, and meetings with political decision-makers and investment institutions will provide direct access to relevant stakeholders in Morocco’s key economic regions.

The registration fee includes a ticket for the entire program from June 23-26, 2026, meals, and transportation within Morocco. Flights to and from Morocco and accommodation must be booked individually and are not included in the registration fee. The EMA is happy to provide recommendations and assistance with bookings.
