American technology leader Oracle, specializing in enterprise software, cloud computing, and database systems, has opened its second Research & Development center in Morocco.
Located in Agadir, the new facility builds on Oracle’s R&D hub launched last year in Casablanca. The two centers support Morocco’s drive to advance world-class AI and cloud technologies to serve global markets.
The 2nd Oracle R&D hub was inaugurated by Head of Govt. Aziz Akhanouch in the presence of U.S. ambassador to Morocco Duke Buchan and Vice-Pdt. of Oracle Industry applications Simon de Montfort Walker.
“Through this new R&D Centre in Agadir, Oracle has chosen to continue and expand its presence in Morocco. This confirms that our country is now recognized as a credible, competitive, and attractive platform for research and development activities and advanced technologies”, said Aziz Akhannouch.
“By expanding its operations in Morocco, investing in our young talent, and establishing its cloud infrastructure capabilities, Oracle is playing a valued role as both an economic and strategic partner in the Kingdom’s digital transformation”, added Mr. Akhannouch.
The Agadir R&D hub will focus on advancing innovation across Oracle’s cloud, AI-powered applications, data platforms, and industry solutions, while creating opportunities for highly skilled Moroccan engineers, developers, and researchers.
With the support of Oracle, Morocco is becoming as a major regional and international hub in digital innovation, cloud and AI technologies, delivering new capabilities and greater value to customers and partners worldwide.
