A partnership agreement was signed on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, in Marrakech to operationalize the green data center campus 'Igoudar Numérique' in Dakhla, Morocco. The project is presented as a structuring initiative for the country's digital sovereignty and energy transition.
The campus is designed to be powered primarily by renewable energy sources, aligning with Morocco's national strategy for sustainable development and its ambitions in the digital economy. The location in Dakhla is strategic for its potential to leverage wind and solar resources.
While specific technical capacities and investment figures were not independently verified in recent reports, the initiative is part of a broader push to develop technology infrastructure in the southern regions of Morocco. The project involves collaboration between public and private sector entities.
The development of such data infrastructure is seen as crucial for hosting local data, reducing latency, and supporting the growth of digital services across Africa, while also promoting the use of clean energy in the tech sector.
