The interest is to attract investments and create qualified job opportunities in the industrial sector. Interested companies have until September 17 to submit their bids, specifies L’Economiste. The selected candidates will sign a public-private partnership agreement with the government for a period of 30 years for the Had Soualem and Sahel Lakhyayta sites and 15 years for the Bouznika site.

The public partner is responsible for mobilizing the cleared and connected land to all necessary off-site infrastructure and built to the highest international standards, obtaining the required authorizations and upgrading the industrial zones.
