The program focuses on applying U.S.-developed tools, including artificial intelligence (AI), to priority sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and the blue economy, logistics, tourism, and services, while introducing participants to U.S. technology platforms and companies operating in these sectors. The Lab aims to strengthen participants’ ability to build solutions that are market-relevant, and scalable, using American products. Through hands-on workshops, mentorship from American experts, and applied project work, participants will learn how to design, test, and improve solutions using proven U.S. approaches in innovation, product development, and technology adoption. The program will also highlight U.S. commercial models and create exposure to American products and services, encouraging participants to integrate U.S. technologies and AI into their solutions. B. Goals & Objectives: Morocco is undergoing rapid digital and economic transformation, with increasing demand for advanced technical skills, innovation capacity, and private sector–driven solutions across key sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and the blue economy, logistics, tourism, and services.
