Coming Soon

An initiative to map the landscape of AI research in Morocco. Through surveys, interviews, and data collection, we aim to uncover where and how AI research is being conducted — from university labs and PhD programs to private R&D centers. The report will provide insights on research themes, institutional capacity, talent distribution, and the ecosystem’s challenges and opportunities.
