Morocco Moves AI 2030 Plan Into Workforce Training Phase

Morocco has moved its national AI roadmap into an implementation phase, with new JAZARI institutes becoming operational and a target to train 100,000 digital workers annually by 2030.

The update was presented in Rabat on 8 September by Morocco's Ministry of Digital Transition, led by Minister Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni. The roadmap forms part of the wider Digital Morocco 2030 strategy and sets targets including 100 billion dirhams, or about $10 billion, in added GDP value, 50,000 direct and indirect jobs, and 200,000 trained and certified professionals by 2030.

The JAZARI network includes a central coordinating hub, JAZARI ROOT, and institutes focused on education and technological innovation, Industry X.0, and smart cities. Their first general assemblies mark a shift from institutional setup toward operational rollout.

Morocco is also building the infrastructure around the skills plan. The government aims to expand data centre capacity toward nearly 1 gigawatt, including a planned 500 megawatt renewable-powered complex in Dakhla and a 50 megawatt data centre and sovereign cloud in the Rabat area.

The roadmap also includes a national Data Factory to prepare data for AI systems, a Software Factory for reusable public-sector code, and AI tools for government services. Projects cited in the roadmap include Idarati AI for administrative guidance, a Sovereign Meeting Assistant for Arabic, French and Darija transcription, and a Legal AI system built on hundreds of thousands of pages from Morocco's Official Gazette.

The training target is broader than AI alone, covering AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing and programming. Morocco is also developing a local language model intended to support Darija and Amazigh alongside Arabic and French, while working with international partners including Nokia, Orange Business, Oracle and Mistral AI.

The rollout builds on the AI Made in Morocco strategy launched in January 2026. Its stated pillars are sovereignty and trust, innovation and competitiveness, and impact and adoption.
