ARPA AS THE STRATEGIC PARTNER FOR MOROCCO SUMMIT:
GATEWAY TO UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES

In a stimulating and action-oriented atmosphere, over 200 prominent Moroccan and international leaders from a breadth of disciplines and legal traditions convened on November 12-19, 2013 at the inaugural Morocco Summit at Sofitel Jardin des Roses Rabat, to promote Morocco as an investment hub and gateway to doing business in North Africa. ARPA had the privilege to co-lead the process of convening such a diverse international gathering of leaders.

Building on the success of its renowned conferences in Africa, South America, Asia, Europe, Middle East and North Africa. Fleming Gulf and ARPA concerted efforts with the National Moroccan Chamber of Commerce, Mohamed VI University; the Moroccan-American Trade Centre, other national and international partners. The Forum represented an unparalleled opportunity to set a platform for participants to come together and explore Morocco’s investments opportunities; break the legal constraints to increase understanding of the regulatory framework and investment infrastructure of the country, from legalistic and academic angles.

As echoed by keynote speakers Moroccan Minister of Tourism Lahcen Haddah; Moroccan Minister Delegate for Higher Education & Competencies Soumaie Benkhaldoun and President of Mohamed V University Souissi Redoune Lmrabet.

This Summit was to be the first of its kind with discussions not only on investments in Morocco and its positioning as a gateway to North Africa but also its growing human capital especially youth and Moroccan competencies from abroad.
