Thursday, 21.10.2010: Check-out and departure individual

“Participating in the German-Moroccan Economic Forum was clearly the right decision. Through the dense program I received a lot of important information and established the necessary contacts for my company foundation”.

This is how one participant of the EMA delegation trip to Morocco from 16-21 October 2010 summarized the successful event on behalf of the delegation.

Tangier/Tétouan

The event was kicked off with a sightseeing program in the Tangier-Tétouan region, which ranged from cultural tours to a tour of the Lafarge cement factory and its in-house wind farm, providing the participants with an opportunity to get to know each other and exchange ideas.

On the following day, the delegation went to the Regional Investment Center of the Tangier-Tétouan Region, where they were personally welcomed by its President and informed about the possibilities and modalities for setting up a company or implementing other projects. Numerous Moroccan businessmen were present and had a lively exchange with the delegation.

Afterwards, the delegation was duly received and shown around in the newly created free port zone, which is in constant expansion. Especially for the logistics industry, but also for all entrepreneurs, the port was an extremely exciting place to visit.

To illustrate this, the delegation then visited the “Tangier Free Zone”, where companies from the cable industry and automotive suppliers opened their doors to the delegation. This gave them the opportunity to get a precise picture and to exchange practical experience reports directly with the entrepreneurs already resident there. The management of the Free Trade Zone was also available to answer the eager delegation’s questions.

Rabat

“The royal city of Rabat – where politics is made” was the motto of the coming day, where the delegation was immediately informed by Sabine Bloch, the deputy ambassador, in a morning briefing about the political and economic situation in Morocco.

Afterwards, the Moroccan Agency for Investments (Agence Marocaine des Investissements, AMDI) invited to a conference in a renowned conference hotel with representatives of the ministries of industry and foreign affairs.

The fact that Rabat is an interesting location for services was demonstrated during the subsequent visit to “Technopolis”, a complex for services and technical know-how. The infrastructure project “La Vallée du Bouregreg”, which will connect the cities of Rabat and Salé, was also particularly impressive and predicted good chances for the entrepreneurs in the still outstanding project tenders.

In the evening, Sabine Bloch, the Deputy Ambassador, invited the delegation to her residence, where they were duly received and entertained. Lively discussions with representatives of the Moroccan economy and politics set the course for future cooperation.

Casablanca

In Casablanca, the delegation was received by the President of the Chamber of Commerce, where a cooperation agreement with the EMA sealed the future close cooperation of both institutions. The participants of the delegation and present Moroccan entrepreneurs introduced themselves and exchanged valuable information.

After a stylish lunch, the German logistics company Dachser invited the delegation to its site in Mohammedia near Casablanca and presented its services and processes. At the evening reception, Morocco’s largest bank, Attijariwafa Banque, provided information on the conditions and opportunities for investment.

A visit to the famous mosque “Hassan II” was the crowning finale of the otherwise quite intensive economic forum.
