Evidence snapshot for Casablanca
Casablanca is home to Technopark Maroc, Morocco's first technology incubator network, founded in 2001 in the Sidi Maârouf district, which has supported over 3,000 startups and created 15,000+ jobs with an 86% incubation success rate over 24 years. The city also hosts Casablanca Finance City, established in 2010 on the site of the former Anfa Airport, which grew to 226 member companies operating across 80 countries and contributing approximately 7,000 direct jobs, while ranking as Africa's leading financial centre globally (49th of 120 centres as of March 2026). However, Casablanca Finance City's initial growth was partly driven by a preferential tax regime that the OECD and EU classified as harmful tax practice, requiring reforms before Morocco was removed from the EU tax-haven grey list in 2020.
