A strategic project of the Safran group illustrates this acceleration. With an investment of 280 million euros, the French giant is setting up a new landing gear production unit in Nouaceur. This 7-hectare site, whose launch was marked by the impetus of King Mohammed VI last February, will operate entirely on clean energy. Scheduled for 2029, it should generate 500 direct jobs.

The Kingdom is also investing in the cutting-edge drone market. Production of the "SpyX" model has already begun in industrial units located near Casablanca. Under the aegis of the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE), led by Ali Seddiki, the country is diversifying its technological offer to integrate sustainably into the most competitive global value chains.

Morocco is now among the top 20 global manufacturers of aerospace parts, alongside Boeing and Airbus. Driven by this ecosystem of more than 150 companies, the country is aiming for a historic milestone.
