Casablanca, Morocco — Luxembourg’s Economy Minister Lex Delles is scheduled to embark on a high-impact economic mission to Morocco from May 4 to May 7, 2026.
The mission, which will be anchored in Casablanca, is a strategic move to capitalize on Morocco’s ongoing infrastructure development and its preparations for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Delles, who also manages portfolios in SMEs, energy, and tourism, will lead a delegation of around 20 companies from various sectors, reflecting Luxembourg’s commitment to expanding its presence in the African market. Morocco’s strategic location at the crossroads of Africa and Europe makes it an attractive market for Luxembourgish companies, particularly in sectors such as infrastructure, telecommunications, and digital transformation.
The mission aims to identify joint ventures and position Luxembourg companies in a market experiencing rapid expansion.
The centerpiece of the visit will be the Morocco — Luxembourg Economic Forum, co-organized with the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM) on May 5. This event will provide a platform for business leaders from both countries to discuss joint investment projects.
The bilateral relationship between Luxembourg and Morocco is already robust, with Luxembourg ranking among Morocco’s top 10 foreign investors. Morocco, in turn, is one of Luxembourg’s most active partners on the African continent. This mission is the fourth major official exchange between the two countries in less than a decade, reflecting the strength of their economic ties.
As Morocco invests heavily in infrastructure to prepare for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, opportunities for collaboration are abundant.
The mission will also focus on Morocco’s digital transformation and sustainable development, which align with Luxembourg’s economic priorities.
The outcome of this mission is expected to contribute to increased trade and investment flows between Luxembourg and Morocco, potentially enhancing the broader economic integration of Africa and Europe.
As Morocco continues to expand its infrastructure and prepare for international events, the mission of Minister Delles is a significant step towards fostering strategic economic partnerships in the region.
