French artificial intelligence operators are rapidly establishing presence in Morocco through significant partnerships spanning industrial transformation and digital innovation. OCP Group announced a strategic collaboration with Mistral AI within its “Bionic” program framework, aiming to transform operational models through agentic AI integration.
The partnership, signed by OCP’s Rock Solutions strategic business unit under Managing Director Nadia Fassi Fehri’s leadership, accelerates responsible, secure, and independent integration of AI, generic AI, and multi-agent systems into Rock Solutions’ core operations and offerings. Fassi Fehri joined OCP in 2020 as Chief Transformation Officer and strategic committee member.
Collaboration rests on two key pillars. First, an independent “Judge Model” will evaluate, govern, and control AI agents developed within the Bionic program, ensuring scalability, compliance, and critical decision-making reliability. Second, a scalable AI model adapted to ecosystem-specific strategic needs will generate substantial added value throughout Rock’s value chain.
“This alliance transforms the Bionic program into a powerful lever accompanying Rock Solutions’ client ecosystem through their own transformations,” OCP stated. Beyond industrial performance, the partnership opens new R&D and innovation opportunities with Mohammed VI Polytechnic University ecosystem, contributing to Morocco’s technological development while reinforcing OCP Group’s global leadership.
This marks Mistral AI’s second major Moroccan initiative. In September 2025, the digital transformation ministry signed a memorandum with Arthur Mensch, Mistral AI’s co-founder and CEO. That partnership emphasizes local AI competency development through training, applied research, and expertise sharing, encouraging startups and industrial projects based on AI solutions adapted to Moroccan business needs while promoting ethical, inclusive, and responsible AI usage guaranteeing data protection and citizen confidence.
The Kingdom becomes a priority market for international operators, particularly French, in strategic digital transformation domains. Zenika recently announced AI strategy reinforcement with a new director responsible for France and Morocco, deploying its proprietary AI Multiplier Framework. Founded in 2006 by Carl Azoury, Zenika operates eleven French agencies plus international offices in Singapore, Montreal, and Casablanca, supporting major accounts across telecommunications, banking, insurance, and retail sectors.
