With the future African Union, Setting up in Morocco will be a strategic move.

Why should you consider Morocco as the New American Dream?

Why should you consider relocating to Morocco for your digital: nomads, freelance, or entrepreneurship-related activities?

The name Casablanca, what will remind you…?

Oh yes you got it, is the Movie filmed in 1942, but that is not the topic we are going to talk about today...

Casablanca is also one of the major cities of the Moroccan kingdom and the capital of the business activities and affairs of the country.

I’m from this busy city, I used to go there for the summer vacation, after the break of the school, almost every year; I remember the first time when I was a child, that my Mother and Dad brought us to Morocco, from Italy by car!

It’s an amazing three days trip and very common for all the Moroccan families living in southern Europe to pack everything, fill the car of every and unimaginable stuff, jump in and travel, through France and Spain, back home or in my case second home, the summer home.

Returning back to our principal topic:

Morocco is an amazing place rich of history and different traditions all over the country, Morocco is an Arabic country and in our culture, we do have a very welcome approach towards others, we usually talk to people which we don’t know and make new friends and socialize easily all over the world in every possible corner, that's also a good point to make business with local business and entrepreneurs.

People

The Moroccan has in the DNA the direct approach and socialize, pushing you to, but sometimes we should and must be more empathetic and see when the other person or group feels uncomfortable. I consider myself a lucky person thanks to my Italian background because I developed a better me, thanks to the European Education that I had and the exposure to this culture and others during my trips in Europe, and I can easily empathize with others and see when and how to the things.

That’s why I love and tell others to travel and not only be a tourist but live the culture itself, so you’ll not only understand and learn but feel the others’ culture.

Morocco has also various and different attractions and things to do, the most populated city is Casablanca, with over 4 million people living and work here, and thanks to the biggest airport in the country and the whole of Africa, that act as a hub for Africa to the other countries.

However due to amount of opportunities and to the community itself is a very crowded city, with huge traffic of tourists, especially during the summer, that goes and admires the biggest Mosque of Africa and the third biggest in the world: Mosque Hassan II.

Marrakech is the preferred city from tourists to travel and visit, because of the fantastic Riads and all the leisure that the city has to offer, this city became and will continue to grow with the Occidental mindset and I suppose that is because of this it is very loved and populated from ex-pats coming from all over the world.

Cities

After these cities, Casablanca and Marrakech there are Fes, Meknes and last but not least Agadir, regarding this last one, not farther then 15min by car, there is a little fishing village called Taghazout, this is one of the littlest village in the world but well known worldwide, because of many things I can say: one of them is the culture of Surfing that has been spread in generation after generation since last decades, it’s also been awarded from Virgin Media one of the top 10 cities where to stay as a Digital Nomads due to its activities, leisure and fantastic spots where to relax, focus and be inspired. The community here is growing and there are a lot of camps, and place where to stay and do different things such as Yoga, Surf and eat healthy food and obviously the local cousin.

People having different backgrounds comes here and find a place where they can run their businesses, freelancer activity, and set-up or develop their start-up.

Here is the place where I’m going to set-up for a while and be a part of Surf Travel Camp, Learning How to Surf and be a part of all the Digital Activities related to amplifying and tell the world of this fantastic places that must be discovered from anyone.

Are you willing to relocate your business to Morocco — North Africa?

I’ve invested a year of my career development in Morocco, the most advanced and with higher growth country in the Nort African countries. With great benefits, support, and help from the government itself, which is willing to invest more and more in the expansion of the country, investors are attracted to invest here due to the nice regulation once you invest and provide jobs.

See Casablanca’s Ecosystem Canva I have created.

Morocco is strategically located between Europe and MEA countries; has several strategically located ports all over the coast, connecting countries in both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts.

On this website, you will be able to find useful information if you are willing to export and import in Morocco.

Moroccan Entrepreneurship is also grown in several areas, with the ambition of the government to have the Moroccan eco-system one of the best in Africa and be the leading country of the continent.
