Morocco is moving forward with a significant project to establish a large-scale data center dedicated to artificial intelligence. The initiative is a key part of the country's national strategy to position itself as a regional technology hub.
The project is being developed by the Mohammed VI Investment Fund, which has committed an initial investment of $200 million. The data center is planned for the Benguerir region, near the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, to foster synergy between research and industry.
According to official announcements, the facility aims to support AI research, development, and commercial applications. It is designed to meet high international standards for energy efficiency and data security.
The development aligns with Morocco's broader digital transformation goals and its ambition to attract foreign investment in the tech sector. Construction timelines and specific operational dates have not been publicly finalized as of early 2026.
