Marrakech – Luxembourg’s Economy Minister Lex Delles will arrive in Morocco on May 4 for a four-day official economic mission. The visit will run through May 7, with Casablanca serving as the base.
Delles, who also oversees SMEs, energy, and tourism portfolios, will lead a high-level delegation. The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce will accompany the minister with around 20 companies from multiple sectors.
The mission targets Morocco’s ongoing investment push. The kingdom is expanding port infrastructure, developing its railway network, upgrading airport capacity, rolling out fiber optic and 5G networks, and preparing for the 2030 FIFA World Cup it will co-host with Spain and Portugal.
These large-scale projects are creating demand in engineering, cybersecurity, and industrial technologies – areas where Luxembourg firms see entry points.
Delles’s delegation will hold institutional meetings and field visits aimed at connecting public and private actors from both sides, to identify joint ventures and position Luxembourg companies in a market undergoing rapid expansion.
A Morocco-Luxembourg Economic Forum will serve as the centerpiece of the visit. Scheduled for May 5, it will be co-organized with the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM). Business leaders from both countries will discuss joint investment projects.

The bilateral relationship already has solid foundations. Luxembourg ranks among Morocco’s top 10 foreign investors. Morocco, in turn, is one of Luxembourg’s most active partners on the African continent.
The Grand Duchy maintains a Trade and Investment Office in Casablanca that supports Luxembourg-based companies expanding into Morocco and broader African markets.
The two countries also share institutional ties through the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Morocco (CCBLM), founded in 1925, which now counts over 250 member companies across sectors, including energy, logistics, industry, and digital innovation.
This is the fourth major official mission between the two countries in under a decade. Previous visits were conducted by Grand Duke Guillaume V, then serving as Hereditary Grand Duke.
The visit arrives at a period of favorable economic momentum. Morocco’s GDP is projected to grow at 3.8% in 2026, supported by expanding agricultural output, sustained foreign direct investment, and strong tourism arrivals.
Overall FDI revenues into Morocco rose by 24.7% in 2024, reaching MAD 43.1 billion. S&P upgraded Morocco to investment grade in September 2025.
