Morocco is the strongest economy in North Africa.
The strength of its economy stems from its diversification: agriculture, mining, tourism and industry. Since 2009 Morocco has taken various initiatives to bolster its ICT activities with significant results.
Another specificity of Morocco is that the economy is not concentrated around just one area, even if Casablanca is known as the economic lungs of the country, one can also find very important companies in the capital Rabat (mostly those linked to education and public affairs) and also in Tangier. These cities all have their technoparks with a lot of outsourced services.
