Morocco Startup Funding: 2.5 Billion Dirhams via Tamwilcom

Morocco's Catalytic Startup Fund, overseen by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform and managed by Tamwilcom, has entered a new phase following the publication of Decree No. 2.26.576 on August 3, 2026, aiming to mobilize nearly 2.5 billion dirhams for Moroccan startups in the digital sector.

According to a ministry statement, a public envelope of 347 million dirhams will be invested over three years in venture capital funds backing digital startups, under a partnership agreement with the Mohammed VI Investment Fund and CDG (Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion). Nine fund management companies have been preselected to benefit from the scheme.

An agreement signed since November 2025

The Minister of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, chaired the signing of a partnership agreement in Rabat on November 21, 2025, bringing together her department, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Mohammed VI Investment Fund, CDG and Tamwilcom. She stressed the importance of strengthening "Morocco's innovation ecosystem" through modern, competitive mechanisms to attract more capital, noting that the scheme would reduce investor risk and support startups from the seed stage through growth.

Why this decision matters

The funding is part of the implementation of the "Morocco Digital 2030" strategy, in line with Royal directives calling for strengthening the Kingdom's digital sovereignty. It comes months after the announcement of a national artificial intelligence roadmap targeting 100 billion dirhams in added value and 50,000 jobs by 2030, reflecting Morocco's accelerating investment in technological capital to consolidate its position as a regional hub.
