Idris Lemjaouri Takes the Helm at Technopark Morocco

On September 28, 2026, it was officially announced that Idris Lemjaouri has been appointed as the General Director of Technopark Morocco. This decision was made during a board meeting held on September 18, presided over by Aml Al-Falih Al-Saghrouchni, the Minister Delegate in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform in the outgoing Akhannouch government. According to a statement released by the ministry overseeing the digital transition sector, this appointment is part of a new dynamic aimed at enhancing Technopark Morocco's status as a reference player in the fields of innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as supporting startup companies in Morocco.

Lemjaouri, who has held the position of Director of the Digital Entrepreneurship System at the Ministry of Digital Transition in recent years, is expected to undertake significant responsibilities. His role will focus on the development and transformation of Technopark Morocco, as well as strengthening its impact within the national digital and entrepreneurial ecosystem. Established in 2001 in Casablanca by the MITC company, Technopark is recognized as Morocco's first incubator for technology companies, stemming from a public partnership involving several Moroccan public institutions.

Currently, Technopark operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, with an extensive network spanning cities such as Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Agadir, and Essaouira. A roadmap announced a few years ago anticipates the opening of nine new complexes within five years, increasing the total number of locations to 14, thus covering all twelve regions of the kingdom.

Furthermore, a budget of 70 million dirhams has been allocated to the Technopark network as part of the ambitious "Digital Morocco 2030" strategy, which is part of a total envelope of 1.3 billion dirhams aimed at supporting startups. The goal is to establish 1,000 startups by 2026 and 3,000 by 2030.
