Rabat – IT company AFD.TECH has announced plans to expand its presence in Morocco with the inauguration of its MEDxp site in Rabat, the company’s third in the North African country.
MEDxp, which will be inaugurated on April 27, is a “new center of excellence dedicated to complex and innovative projects,” said AFD.TECH in a press release. The site will initially welcome more than 300 “highly qualified” engineers in 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Data Science, and other new technologies, it added.
The new site is a reflection of the company’s “extremely ambitious” goals for the year 2023, indicated the statement, noting that AFD.TECH aims to pass the “milestone” of 1000 employees in Morocco by 2024.
“The opening of this new center will make it possible to meet this great challenge and to expand its capacity for action and its playground,” underlined the statement, emphasizing the company’s commitment to “continuing its diversification strategy in the digital transformation of large groups.”
AFD.TECH’s Manager Philippe Saint-Pierre said that the Rabat-based site is “the bearer of a new technology for AFD.TECH, an even more ambitious vision.”
“This new ecosystem will thus promote new activities supported in new technologies for
our customers’ projects whose primary ambition is innovation,” Saint-Pierre added.
AFD.TECH has been continuously strengthening its presence in Morocco for almost a decade, starting with the opening of its first site around ten years ago and later opening its “large and prestigious” center of expertise “MEDITECH” in 2021, added the statement.
For the company, the opening of this third “significant” site marks “a new chapter in AFD.TECH’s journey in Morocco, which is a part of a far-reaching development strategy for the next five years.”
Founded in 1998, AFD.TECH has headquarters in Morocco, France, and Belgium, with more than 1,500 employees, according to the company’s website.
