The Souss-Massa region, which attracted more than 18 billion dirham-investments in 2017, is poised to become a platform of exports towards Africa. This new vocation of the region was stressed at a ceremony held Sunday in Agadir under the chairmanship of King Mohammed VI and during which the Souss-Massa Regional 2014-2020 Industrial Acceleration Plan was presented. The industrial projects to be carried out in Souss-Massa aim to create 24,000 new jobs, in partnership with professional federations and private operators, Elalamy said. The regional plan provides for the promotion of new ecosystems, mainly in emerging sectors, such as automotive subcontracting, offshoring, leather, building materials and plastics. In this connection, a protocol related to 11 industrial investments in these sectors was signed during the ceremony.
