IASP members strengthen cross-border innovation cooperation: Spanish business mission to Morocco

IASP members Malaga TechPark, The Basque Country Technology Park, and Geolit among others further strengthen their international ties with Technopark Morocco through a business mission to Casablanca, Morocco organised by fellow IASP member The Spanish Association of Science and Technology Parks (APTE), held from 6-8 July. 

Spanish representatives, joined the visit to Casablanca centered on deepening synergies between both ecosystems and exploring new opportunities for high-value cooperation. The programme included a tour of Technopark Morocco's ecosystem, as well as meetings with representatives of the park such as Director General Lamiae Benmakhlouf, who is also IASP's Advisory Council President, as well as members of the wider Moroccan business community. 

The mission builds on a long-standing relationship between Málaga TechPark, APTE and the Technopark network, with connections spanning the centres in Tangier, Rabat, and Casablanca, creating further opportunities for knowledge exchange, technology transfer, and international partnerships. 

This initiative highlights the value of collaboration within the IASP global network, where connections between members help foster cross-border cooperation, strengthen innovation ecosystems, and create new opportunities for business, entrepreneurs, and research organisations.
