Casablanca Smart City 2026: A Milestone in Urban Development
On June 10 and 11, 2026, Casablanca will proudly host the 10th edition of the Casablanca Smart City event, a pivotal gathering dedicated to urban innovation that has become a staple in the region. Organized by Casablanca Events & Animation, this anniversary celebration will highlight a decade of commitment towards creating a more sustainable, inclusive, and interconnected metropolis. Set against the backdrop of the historic Sacré-Cœur district, the forum will bring together experts, public decision-makers, startups, and citizens through a comprehensive program featuring conferences, workshops, and exhibition spaces. This year’s event introduces the concept of the "augmented Smart City," an innovative approach that leverages emerging technologies for the collective well-being of its inhabitants.
Since its inception in 2016, the Casablanca Smart City initiative has established itself as a major platform in Africa, attracting tens of thousands of participants and actively contributing to the city’s transformation through advancements in intelligent mobility, digital governance, and ecological transition. This momentum coincides with significant upcoming sporting events such as the Africa Cup of Nations in 2025 and the World Cup in 2030, which are propelling urban modernization forward.
Exploring New Frontiers in Urban Innovation
The 2026 edition will explore four key structural axes: digital innovation, economic dynamism, the cultural and sporting landscape, and sustainable mobility. Special emphasis will be placed on fostering young talent through hackathons and initiatives aimed at citizen innovation. With this new strategic direction, Casablanca is reaffirming its ambition to become a continental reference point for smart cities, focusing on a collaborative, sustainable, and forward-looking approach. The event not only celebrates the past achievements but also sets the stage for future advancements in the urban landscape of Casablanca.
