2. Industrialization of medical devices 

Industrialization and development of new e-health products and other connected medical devices Made in Morocco, as well as the facilitation of telemedicine, among others;

 

3. A Biotech 4.0 platform 

The creation and implementation of a Biotech 4.0 Platform will facilitate and accelerate innovations in biotechnology, but also the research and development of quality control of industrialists, as well as the development of advanced professional training in Biotechnology;

 

4. Creation and development of new companies in the health field 

This new partnership also aims to create, in the coming years, a think-act to rethink the economic models of industrial and technological operations in the health field. In the long term, this think-act will identify the type of connected objects and other electronic measures capable of providing effective care. 

Morocco is thus concretely committing itself to the path of health-tech: an important step towards the discovery of good practices useful to other countries?
