币界网报道：Morocco's startup ecosystem has secured $94.96 million in funding during the first half of 2024, marking significant growth in the North African nation's innovation landscape. The investments were distributed across 48 deals, with fintech startups leading the pack by raising $30.5 million, followed by cleantech at $19.8 million and e-commerce at $18.2 million. Notable funding rounds include BNPL platform Chari's $15 million Series B and solar energy startup KarmSolar's $12 million raise. The capital influx comes as Morocco positions itself as a regional tech hub, with government initiatives like the "Startup Act" providing tax incentives and regulatory support for young companies. Casablanca-based ventures accounted for 65% of total funding, while Marrakech and Rabat-based startups secured 20% and 15% respectively. International investors participated in 40% of deals, with French and UAE-based VC firms being most active. The Moroccan Ministry of Digital Transition attributes this growth to improved digital infrastructure and a 35% increase in tech graduates since 2020. Industry analysts project full-year 2024 funding could reach $200 million if current trends continue, potentially placing Morocco among Africa's top five startup ecosystems by funding volume.
