After the success of the Aerospace, and automotive industries in Morocco, the new aim is to enter the sectors of production related to trains including high-speed trains, buses, and commercial maritime construction.
The Minister of Transport announced a new program worth 1 billion USD for the award of 3500 buses to 32 cities. The focus is on assembly and local manufacturing of components.
Call for tenders to purchase 150 trains to serve for fast shuttle, and regional trains connecting major cities, as well as 18 high-speed trains. The cost of the project is 1.6 billion dollars which goes beyond the mere purchase of trains, as it's considered a real opportunity to establish an industrial system for the manufacturing of trains. The goal is to reach a 60 % location rate in the short term within the next 1-2 decades.
In his speech on the occasion of the forty-eighth anniversary of the victorious Green, King Mohammed VI stressed that it has become necessary to think about forming a strong naval and commercial fleet for the Kingdom, rehabilitating the Atlantic coasts, and continuing to establish a maritime economy. The roadmap is not clear yet, more information to come in the near future.

An agreement has been signed between the Moroccan operator Panafsat and Thales Alenia Space to develop a Moroccan satellite communication system, aiming to deliver high-speed internet connectivity to 26 African countries. This satellite will serve both civilian and military purposes, consistent with Morocco's prior dual-use satellites. Operations will be jointly managed by relevant civilian agencies (such as the National Meteorology Directorate and the Land Registry Agency) and military and intelligence services, including the FRA, GR and the DGED.

By 2030:
– Water transfer infrastructure between the Sebou and Oum Errabiaa river basins for a capacity of 800M m³/year,
– A 1,400 km HVDC power line connecting the South and Center of the Kingdom,
– Combined-cycle natural gas power plants at the Tahaddart site for a total capacity of nearly 1,500 MW
– 5 desalination plants powered by green energy for a capacity of 900M m³/year,
– Over 1,200 MW of renewable energy to be developed.
This megaproject, aligned with the Morocco–UAE declaration, also aims to generate more than 25,000 jobs, foster the emergence of a local industrial ecosystem, and position the Kingdom as a regional leader in the energy transition.

The list is long: motorways, hospitals, airports, stadiums, railway networks, desalination plants, energy programs, etc. We have five crucial years ahead of us, and the World Cup will only help us accelerate these goals, even if they are not directly linked to hosting the World Cup in 2030.

Royal Air Maroc Set to Place Major Boeing, Airbus Aircraft Order
The airline is considering purchasing around two dozen Boeing 787 Dreamliners, up to 50 Boeing 737s. The report also mentioned that Morocco is negotiating for an order of 20 A220 jets from Airbus. It will be nice to see how the procurement will be shared between Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer.
