Rabat – Rabat will host the second edition of the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) Summit on October 2 and 3, under the theme “Celebrating Heritage, Investing in Progress.”
The event, held under the High Patronage of King Mohammed VI, is expected to bring together political leaders, economic experts, and key players from both Morocco and abroad.
It aims to explore the future of Morocco’s CCI sector, which is not only an engine for job creation and economic growth but also a vital contributor to the Kingdom’s cultural identity.
Jointly organized by Morocco’s Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication, the Federation of Cultural and Creative Industries of the CGEM, and supported by the European Union, the summit will focus on governance, funding, digital transformation, and the role of heritage in driving the CCI sector forward.
“The government is committed to developing this sector, which has the potential to create both direct and indirect jobs,” said Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, Morocco’s Minister of Youth, Culture, and Communication.
Bensaid emphasized the government’s dedication to building a robust CCI ecosystem that fosters innovation and sustainable growth.
Neïla Tazi, President of the Federation of Cultural and Creative Industries, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the opportunities Morocco has to harness digital advancements and a thriving cultural heritage.
“We must act quickly to capitalize on these trends and ensure the sector’s success,” Tazi stated.
The CCI sector is recognized globally as a major economic force, generating over $2 trillion in revenue and 50 million jobs worldwide. For Morocco, with its rich cultural assets and entrepreneurial spirit, the goal is to position itself as a continental leader in this dynamic industry.
The summit will feature five key panels, covering topics such as public-private partnerships, innovative funding, tourism, and the role of artificial intelligence in transforming creative professions.
