Israel and Morocco reached a technology and innovation agreement on Thursday, announced Israeli embassy in Morocco official, Einat Levi.
Following Israeli Minister of science, technology, and space Orit Farkash-Hacohen’s arrival to Morocco for meetings with her Moroccan counterpart, Minister of Higher Education Abdellatif Miraoui, both parties signed Memorandums of Understanding officializing the sectorial partnership.
The Israeli Minister has already announced a day before the MoU signing at the Israel-Morocco “Connect to Innovate” technology and business conference in Casablanca that partnership talks are progressing.
The Minister said both countries have an “amazing opportunity” to collaborate and address common challenges that should not be missed, reports the Times of Israel.
The bilateral agreement aims to boost cooperation in different sectors, including artificial intelligence, agri-tech, agri-business, water management and desalination, desertification, food processing, biotechnology, renewable energies, telemedicine, pharmaceutical industry, smart cities, automotive industry, IT, aerospace, environmental studies, social sciences, and humanities.
“This is a special event. It has been only 18 months since we signed and reestablished the diplomatic relationship with the kingdom of Morocco. While governments sign treaties, people are the ones who are actually building peace,” the Israeli Minister said in her speech, according to the same source.
Agreements between Israel and Morocco constitute the fruit of the strengthening of diplomatic ties since December 2020, after they reached the trilateral agreement, involving the US.
