In an unprecedented move with major economic implications, Alstom announced massive investments to transform the Fez-Meknes region into a global center for train manufacturing and maintenance. This announcement comes as part of a package of agreements signed during French President Emmanuel Macron’s historic visit to Morocco and France’s official recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara.
Under this agreement, the city of Fez will become a reference point in the railway world. The project is expected to establish advanced infrastructure that will support local train production and open broad horizons for Moroccan youth through direct and indirect job opportunities. This investment reflects France’s commitment to strengthening its strategic relations with Morocco and comes within the framework of both countries’ efforts to expand cooperation in technology and green economy sectors.
During his visit, Macron emphasized the importance of partnership with Morocco as a regional economic base, stressing the shared desire to build a common economic future that enables the kingdom to achieve industrial autonomy and strengthens its position as a regional and global center for railways and renewable energy.
