Trouvez ou créez un Origin à Casablanca
Casablanca is Morocco’s startup capital, and the ecosystem has grown steadily into one of the most active in North Africa. The Technopark — the country’s first technology park — anchors the scene, with event floors, incubators, and a community of founders, engineers, and designers working side by side. Co-working hubs in Maarif and Gauthier host the younger side of the ecosystem, while universities like Hassan II University and Université Mohammed VI supply a steady stream of graduates. The startup community has strengths in fintech, agritech, logistics, and tourism tech, and it serves both the domestic market and French-speaking Africa. Meetings tend to be professional and bilingual — French and Darija mix freely, and English is increasingly common in the tech scene. Recurring formats include founder breakfasts, pitch evenings, and demo days that attract investors from Morocco and Europe. Starting a startup Origin here works best with a narrow vertical and a regular rhythm: a monthly fintech builders night or an agritech founders table builds a reliable following faster than a generalist founder group.
