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.”
In this regard, he emphasized the significant growth of the Foundation’s institutions, with more than 2,000 students expected for the upcoming academic year on the Mohammedia and Essaouira campuses, in strategic fields such as health, medicine, engineering, and research and development.
According to him, the Foundation is thus aligning itself with one of the country’s key national priorities, which is to provide “the best possible response to citizens’ needs” by training the next generations for the jobs of the future.
In a statement to MAP, the Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Leila Benali, praised FRDISI’s ability to create a true innovation ecosystem, where education, scientific research, and technological development are closely interconnected.
After highlighting the quality of the public-private partnerships established by the Foundation to drive innovation in strategic sectors, Benali emphasized the Foundation’s vital role in mobilizing local skills and young talent to address Morocco’s major challenges, particularly in the areas of health, energy, artificial intelligence, and the environment.
Meanwhile, FRDISI’s Deputy President, Hicham Medromi, noted that the Foundation’s three schools (SupTech Santé Mohammedia, SupTech Santé Essaouira, and SupTech Environnement) currently have over 1,345 students, of whom 60% are women and 60% come from rural areas, figures that reflect FRDISI’s commitment to equal opportunity and support for underprivileged youth.
