A technology engineering and consulting company, a subsidiary of the SII Group, has just established itself at the Oujda technopole, a project that plans to create 500 direct jobs.

The inauguration of this project, a determining milestone in the technological growth of the Oriental region, took place on Tuesday during the celebration of the 22nd anniversary of the Royal Initiative for the Development of the Oriental Region.

This establishment fully aligns with the territorial development vision of the Oriental region, which relies on accelerated digitalization, an increase in local talent skills, and an incentive regulatory framework for investors.

The SII Group is a recognized global actor in engineering consulting and digital services for sectors such as industry, energy, automotive, and telecommunications, and its decision to officially launch its establishment in Oujda Shore testifies to the growing confidence of international actors in the economic and technological potential of the region.

Present in 21 countries and counting 18,000 collaborators, the SII Group plays a key role in the digital transformation of companies by offering innovative solutions adapted to current technological challenges, according to a presentation note of this project.

The SII Oujda Shore platform, which spans 500 m², is designed as a cutting-edge technological space intended to support the skill enhancement of local talent. This project plans to create 500 direct jobs, thus contributing to the dynamization of the employment market in the region.

The establishment of SII in Oujda benefits from reinforced institutional support, ensuring administrative and regulatory support to facilitate the establishment and start-up of activities. It also comes with fiscal and financial incentives adapted in accordance with the New Investment Charter.

Furthermore, partnerships with training institutions are established to ensure access to highly qualified and market-adapted labor.

With an attractive environment, modern infrastructure, and investment incentives, the Oriental region today imposes itself as a territory of innovation and development for tomorrow’s technological companies.
