Moroccan firms in Sub-Saharan Africa: a strategic partnership for win-win cooperation

Résumé

Abstract:

In recent years, the economic landscape of Africa has witnessed an upsurge in cross-continental partnerships and collaborations. As two major actors within the continent, Morocco and Sub- Saharan Africa work on building stronger ties. This partnership goes hand in hand with an important amount of duties, of challenges but also with big opportunities. Hence, the two countries cooperate to the top level to reinforce and develop their strong matches trough a renewed Partnership. We consider that by building closer and stronger ties we actually participate in adding to a prosperous, secure and forward-looking Africa.

By being the second largest African economic region, sub Saharan Africa can offer a substantial number of opportunities for Moroccan firms willing to distribute or produce goods or services in the area. Taking the strategic decision to internationalize requires, for any company, a review and adjustment related to its approach, orientation, and internal resources. Such a review and adaptation are even more crucial for a Moroccan investment in Sub Saharan Africa.

This article explores the potential strategic partnership between Moroccan firms and the Sub- Saharan African business environment, aiming to create a win-win situation for both nations. This analysis delves into the particular strengths and opportunities that Moroccan businesses bring to the Sub-Saharan African market and how such collaboration can foster economic growth, innovation, and sustainable development.
