Why Morocco? 

 


The destination of Morocco is increasingly regarded in the majority of decisions of major players in the electronics industry and the reference players have confidence in Morocco. Thus, we are witnessing the emergence of a new generation of more integrated subcontractors (subcontractors responsible for the design, industrialization and the purchases of raw materials and components) that outsource some of their operations Morocco.

 The electronics industry has Moroccan and development opportunities very important for years to come. 

Offer dedicated Morocco 

To exploit this potential, the Moroccan industrial strategy aims to strengthen the attractiveness of the Kingdom through the definition of an Offer Morocco dedicated to careers in electronics.

Offer Morocco for the sector of electronics and structured around three components::

• The attractive incentive framework through:
- The free zone status provides a total exemption from corporate tax for the first 5 years followed by a cap at 8.75% 
- Grants for the installation of up to 10% of the total investment

• A device qualified human resources development: 
- A support system  for operators in their efforts to hiring and training continues
- A training plan tailored to the needs of the sector Electronics

• A diverse housing supply in line with best international standards in an Integrated Industrial Platform (P2i) benefiting from dedicated free zone status.

 In addition, the State undertakes to educate players in the banking sector to develop a range of funding  in line with the needs of target companies.

Strong competitiveness on costs  

Because of the low cost of its workforce, its geographic proximity and financial incentives it offers, Morocco has for the Electronics sector a competitive advantage on costs:
