Morocco, a new El Dorado for French companies?

An open-air construction site, Morocco attracts foreign companies, particularly French ones. In addition to taking advantage of the local market, the latter aim to conquer the African market from the kingdom.

“The kingdom is looking for numerous projects, ranging from road infrastructure to rail, including telecommunications and water management,” says the newspaper The EchoesStéphane Perez, general manager of the NGE group which was selected at the end of 2024 by the National Railway Office (ONCF) of Morocco to carry out the work to deploy the high-speed line to Marrakech. The construction group, present in Morocco for 35 years, notes an acceleration of infrastructure and urban development projects, in anticipation of the 2030 Football World Cup, which the kingdom is organizing, jointly with Spain and Portugal. .
