Morocco is more synonymous with souks than start-ups. But – within the international business community – this perception is starting to change. On Saturday, January 13 a panel of innovators, social entrepreneurs and local business creators will discuss the growth of the entrepreneurial spirit in Morocco and how technology is enabling them to drive sustainable change and overcome challenges facing them particularly social mobility.
One of the panellists is the inspirational Manal Elattir who led the first social entrepreneurship movement in Morocco and has trained more than 1800 female artisans and entrepreneurs.
The event in Marrakesh is running alongside the Formula E Championship, the world’s first fully-electric international street racing series. Allianz is a flagship partner with Formula E.
Background
The event forms part of the Allianz Global Explorer Program, a series of global and local partnerships, digital and physical activations and crowd-generated content platforms that calls out to curious minds around the globe. The Marrakesh leg of the program will focus on how (disruptive) technologies are enabling people in Morocco to create ways to better connect – rather than to divide – human interactions
“The Allianz Global Explorer Program is a manifestation of our curiosity and helps us to develop the right expertise. We want to accompany courageous and curious people and encourage them to live a full life,” said Jean-Marc Pailhol, Head of Group Market Management and Distribution at Allianz SE..
