THE VOICE  OF AFRICA

As Marrakech prepares to host the World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings, we are on a quest to make sure Africa’s voices are not just heard but also act as a catalyst for global change. This is a journey of African empowerment and global solutions. Our guiding theme is the Voice of Africa, a principle that UM6P fervently endorses. We will probe into essential topics like food security, sustainable growth, digital frontiers, and the transformative role of the African diaspora.

UM6P is proud to organize the side events as part of the World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings. These side events are not mere dialogues; they are platforms for Africa’s voices to inspire and enact change. Our focus areas include:

Food Security, Sustainability & Entrepreneurship: UM6P is at the forefront of sustainable agriculture, fostering entrepreneurial minds to spearhead eco-conscious farming initiatives.

Creative Industries in Africa: Through our School of Collective Intelligence and the 1337 computer training school, the university aims to be a beacon for creativity, illuminating Africa’s hidden talents.

African Diaspora & Innovation: Our mentorship initiatives and global partnerships are proof of our commitment to nurturing a global mindset while crafting solutions that are uniquely African.

The University Mohammed VI Polytechnic is not merely a place of learning; it’s a force for transformation. We are rooted in the conviction that for Africa to prosper, its solutions must be indigenous, steeped in local insights, and driven by local creativity. Our focus on applied research and innovation is unwavering and targets areas crucial for Africa’s rise.

As we reach on the Road to Marrakech, we invite you to join us in this endeavor to listen, understand, and act. This is not just an event series; it’s a movement toward a brighter, more inclusive, and prosperous Africa. Let’s co-create the blueprint for Africa’s renaissance.
