Capgemini Engineering, a world leader in engineering services, and CNEXIA, a subsidiary of a Canadian media conglomerate, inked partnership agreements with institutional players in the Fes-Meknes region on Wednesday, to open new offices for the high-profile companies in Fes Shore Park, a growing business center on the outskirts of Fes owned by the MEDZ Group.
The two companies will receive funding from the Fez-Meknes Region; from “Ewane,” a subsidiary of the Deposit and Savings Fund (CDG) group; as well as the wilaya and the Regional Investment Centre (CRI), totaling 2 Mln MAD to fit out their new office space.
The two companies have undertaken to create a minimum of 100 jobs within two years, thereby making a significant contribution to job growth in the region.
As new companies come in, Fes Shore Park, which sits on 22 hectares near Fes’ international airport and currently offers 30,000 m2 of ready-to-use office space, is being expanded.
Managing Director of CDG Khalid Safir announced phase three of Fes Shore Park’s expansion plan to build another 15,000 m2, representing a 120 million dirham investment. This next phase is expected to generate about 2,000 new jobs.
The President of the Fes-Meknes Regional Council, Abdelouahad El Ansari, affirmed the Region’s ambition to position itself as one of Morocco’s leaders in the knowledge economy and information technologies.
General Director of CRI Yassine Tazi told MAP that the region is proactively pursuing an ambitious vision for 2042 to become Morocco’s second national center for IT and outsourcing, in line with the Regional Spatial Planning Scheme (SRAT).
Thanks to its location and attractive environment, the Fes Shore park is perfectly suited to supporting the Region’s strategic ambitions. Spread over an area of 22 hectares, Fès Shore offers a World Class infrastructure with 30,000 m² of ready-to-use office space that meets the needs of investors.
