Oracle just parked a research hub in a Moroccan coastal city, and the prime minister showed up for it. The tech giant opened its Regional R&D Office in Agadir, with PM Aziz Akhannouch presiding and a crowd that included digital minister Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, U.S. Ambassador Duke Buchan III, and Oracle EVP Simon de Montfort Walker.

Moroccan officials read the investment as a vote of confidence in the country's pull for high-value tech money. They tied the center to Morocco's rep for innovation and its appeal to global tech firms.

Seghrouchni said dropping the facility in Agadir fits the plan to use digital tech for regional development, since it nudges innovation closer to universities, research institutions, and job hubs. She linked it to Morocco's wider transformation push under King Mohammed VI, which leans on digital infrastructure, a national AI ecosystem, and skills investment.

Per the ministry, Oracle scaling up its R&D here should spin off high-skilled jobs, beef up the digital ecosystem, and plug Moroccan talent into global tech value chains.
