Algeria Challenges Morocco’s Dominance in African Offshoring Market
Monday 25 January 2021, by
Morocco, the leader in Africa and the top offshoring destination, now seems to have a formidable competitor. Algeria has just signed a cooperation agreement on the development of the export of Algerian digital services to France.
This agreement was signed between the Algerian-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIAF) and the Algerian Group of Digital Stakeholders (GAAN) on Thursday, January 21 in Algiers. It aims to "connect French companies, who want to outsource certain services in the software and call center sectors, with Algerian companies capable of carrying out this mission," said Bachir Tadjeddine, president of GAAN.
"Many companies in France and Europe are looking for subcontractors in the digital field, and Algeria, thanks to its tax advantages, has become competitive compared to its immediate neighbors, due to the prices offered by its companies, their maturity, the quality of training of young engineers and the quality of services that can be provided to client companies," said Michel Bisac, president of the CCIAF.
