The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed at GITEX Africa 2025, the largest tech and startup show in Africa, held in Marrakech, Morocco.

Mrs. Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, and Mr. Yasir El Kabbany, Senior Regional Director for the Middle East, North Africa, and Levant at CompTIA, the leading global provider of vendor-neutral information technology (IT) training and certification products, signed the agreement.

H.E. Mrs. Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, shared her vision for the partnership, stating: “This partnership with CompTIA marks a key step in our national strategy to empower Moroccan youth with globally recognized digital skills. By aligning education with the evolving needs of the digital economy, we are not only preparing our talent for the future but also positioning Morocco as a regional hub for innovation and digital excellence.”
