About the opportunities in Morocco
Morocco is a stable and increasingly business-friendly country, making big investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and industry, ahead of co-hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup which acts as an accelerator to Morocco's already ambitious infrastructure plans across rail, roads, ports, stadia and airports. Ongoing reforms to the Moroccan economy, growing bilateral trade with the UK, and ambitious infrastructure development plans, make Morocco an exciting market for UK businesses.
Sectors that present great opportunities for UK businesses include:
- Infrastructure
- Healthcare
- Food and Drink
- Defence and Security
- Education and Training
About the opportunities in Egypt
With its rapidly increasing population, advantageous geographic position and growing economy, Egypt is a market with a lot to offer. It is home to the Suez Canal, a vital trade route between Asia and Europe and one of the key arteries of the world economy. As a result of economic reform, foreign reserves have increased, unemployment has declined and there has been significant investment in infrastructure.
Sectors that present great opportunities for UK businesses include:
- Agriculture and Agri-tech
