Morocco has been confirmed as the host country for GITEX Africa 2026, a major technology and startup exhibition. The event is scheduled to take place in Marrakech from May 28-30, 2026, continuing its role as a key platform for digital innovation on the continent.
In a related development, the Digital Development Agency (ADD) of Morocco has had its mandate as the chair of the Council of African Information Technology Agencies (CAITA) renewed. The ADD has held this presidency since the council's inception in 2023, focusing on continental digital policy coordination.
The announcements underscore Morocco's positioning as a regional hub for technology and digital governance. GITEX Africa, the African affiliate of the world's largest tech show in Dubai, aims to connect investors, governments, and entrepreneurs to drive digital transformation across Africa.
