Abstract

Confronting environmental issues and the digital shift, Morocco is positioning itself as a vital contributor to advancing green technologies across Africa. This chapter examines how Moroccan economic diplomacy, via strategic alliances, investments, and South–South cooperation efforts, promotes the transfer and implementation of innovative solutions for an intelligent environment. Utilizing specific examples, it emphasizes the importance of national innovation platforms, such as the Green Energy Park, and the effects of bilateral and multilateral agreements on the spread of green and digital technologies. This research highlights both the prospects and obstacles tied to this dynamics and provides suggestions to enhance Morocco’s role as a technological center in Africa for sustainable development.
