At the opening ceremony of the “Made in Moscow” pavilion, Russia’s Trade Representative in Morocco Alexei Andreev said, “The Moroccan high-tech market has unconditional prospects for Russian companies. There is a growing understanding in Morocco of the need to ensure digital sovereignty in key sectors of the economy by diversifying access to… Modern technological solutions, and this is the area where we see opportunities for great cooperation.”
Andreev added that the Russian government is creating conditions for Russian companies to enter foreign markets through the “Digital Trade Attaché” service, which supports information technology companies in export activities and facilitates dialogue between companies.
