Rabat: Speaking at the meeting of the Foundation’s Board of Directors and General Assembly, Azoulay highlighted the momentum initiated by the Foundation in the fields of training, research, and innovation. “Today, our Foundation has shown just how far we’ve come, both academically and scientifically, as well as economically.”

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the Foundation’s institutions are set for significant growth, with more than 2,000 students expected for the upcoming academic year on the Mohammedia and Essaouira campuses. These students will focus on strategic fields such as health, medicine, engineering, and research and development. The Foundation aims to align itself with a national priority of providing “the best possible response to citizens’ needs” by preparing the next generation for future job markets.

In a statement to MAP, the Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Leila Benali, praised FRDISI’s role in fostering an innovation ecosystem where education, scientifi
c research, and technological development are interconnected. She highlighted the quality of public-private partnerships established by the Foundation to drive innovation in strategic sectors. Benali also emphasized the Foundation’s vital role in harnessing local skills and young talent to tackle Morocco’s challenges in health, energy, artificial intelligence, and the environment.

Meanwhile, FRDISI’s Deputy President, Hicham Medromi, reported that the Foundation’s three schools-SupTech Santé Mohammedia, SupTech Santé Essaouira, and SupTech Environnement-currently have over 1,345 students. Notably, 60% of these students are women, and 60% come from rural areas, reflecting FRDISI’s commitment to equal opportunity and support for underprivileged youth.
