Morocco is set to receive a high-level economic mission from Luxembourg from May 4 to 7, led by Lex Delles, the Grand Duchy’s Minister for the Economy, SMEs, Energy, and Tourism. The visit will be accompanied by a delegation of approximately twenty Luxembourgish companies operating in multiple sectors, and marks the fourth such mission since 2015, reflecting a bilateral relationship that has deepened steadily over the past decade.
The centerpiece of the program is an economic forum co-organized with Morocco’s General Confederation of Enterprises (CGEM) on May 5 at the CGEM headquarters in Casablanca. The forum will bring together Luxembourgish and Moroccan business leaders to explore partnership opportunities, with a particular focus on construction, technology, and the digital economy — sectors where both sides have identified substantial complementarity.
Luxembourg already ranks among Morocco’s top ten foreign investors, while Morocco is consistently cited by Luxembourgish officials as one of the Grand Duchy’s most dynamic African partners. The relationship benefits from a long-standing double taxation convention, an air services agreement, and a social security treaty, providing a stable legal framework for bilateral investment and labor mobility.
This edition of the mission arrives at a moment of heightened strategic significance for both economies. Morocco’s infrastructure pipeline — driven by the 2030 World Cup, the expansion of the high-speed rail network, and the ongoing rollout of renewable energy capacity — offers concrete investment opportunities for Luxembourgish firms with strengths in engineering, finance, and technology. For Morocco, the mission is an opportunity to strengthen its positioning as the preferred gateway to African markets for European investors.
Previous missions have produced tangible results: the 2022 visit, conducted alongside the Luxembourgish Grand Ducal Heir, led to agreements in digital transformation, with Luxembourgish steel contributed to the Mohammed VI Tower’s structure, and generated lasting business relationships across the construction and ICT sectors. The May 2026 edition is expected to build on that momentum with an expanded scope and a higher number of participating firms.
