Through the INDUSTRICOM Group and its flagship publication, Industrie du Maroc Magazine, Hicham Rahioui Idrissi has established himself as a dedicated advocate for investment, industry, and territorial development across Morocco. His commitment spans from Tangier to Casablanca and from Agadir to Nador, underpinned by a firm belief that the economic transformation of Morocco hinges on creating enduring bridges among public decision-makers, industrialists, investors, entrepreneurs, and local territories. This approach transcends mere event organization, aiming instead to foster a robust national ecosystem characterized by dialogue, cooperation, and economic opportunities.
In a Morocco undergoing a significant transformation of its production model, various economic players are opting to utilize networking, knowledge-sharing, and territorial enhancement as tools for supporting national development. Hicham Rahioui Idrissi, as the CEO of INDUSTRICOM Group and the founder of Industrie du Maroc Magazine, embodies this dynamic with remarkable consistency. Since the establishment of INDUSTRICOM Group in 2013, his ambition has been to bridge the gap between the business community and institutions, promote the industrial potential of the Kingdom, and create spaces for reflection that can translate strategic orientations into tangible partnership opportunities.
Through Industrie du Maroc Magazine, the Industries.ma platform, and various economic events, he has systematically developed a framework that combines specialized information, economic communication, professional networking, and investment promotion.
Tangier: Supporting the Industrial Ambition of the North
In Tangier, this initiative has manifested notably through the Industry Meeting Days Morocco, scheduled for July 11 and 12, 2024, at the Hilton Al Houara. This event, dedicated to industrial investment, employment, and economic prosperity, aims to place competitiveness and business development at the forefront of discussions. The choice of Tangier reflects a keen understanding of Morocco's industrial geography, with Tangier Med, free trade zones, the automotive industry, and international logistics networks positioning the northern region as a key driver of the Kingdom's integration into global value chains. By gathering economic stakeholders in this region, INDUSTRICOM Group contributes to enhancing a territory that has become crucial for Morocco's attractiveness and the emergence of new industrial opportunities.
Casablanca: Building National Industrial Dialogue
In Casablanca, the Industry Meeting Days have solidified their role over eight editions as a pivotal gathering for Moroccan economic and industrial discourse. The eighth edition, held on June 11 and 12, 2026, at the International Corporate Events Center under the theme "Morocco: A Crossroads for Global Industries," exemplified this growth. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, this meeting addressed essential topics such as value chain transformation, industrial financing, energy transition, artificial intelligence, innovation, logistics, and skills development. With 80 exhibitors and over 100 speakers anticipated, the event confirmed its ability to unite various stakeholders around the challenges of national industrialization.
Beyond the conferences, B2B meetings, executive exchanges, and the Startup Village have fostered an environment conducive to professional connections and increased visibility for innovative businesses. This dynamic is complemented by a diversification of initiatives, including the International Energy Forum held in Casablanca on March 25, 2026, and the Employment and Skills Forum on January 26, which reflect the intention to broaden the dialogue to include energy issues and human capital.
The new platform Industries.ma, the Industry Jobs project, and the announcement of the Morocco Industry Summit for 2027 further illustrate the ambition for large-scale development.
In Agadir, Hicham Rahioui Idrissi and his teams have developed an approach that integrates industry, investment, innovation, real estate, and territorial development. The International Forum on Industry and Services, held on May 5 and 6, 2025, and the AGRIWATER 4.0 conference on October 21, 2025, have highlighted critical economic issues for the Souss-Massa region, including productive transformation, agro-industrial development, and resource management.
This engagement extended to SAKANKOM, the International Real Estate, Professional Real Estate, and Construction Fair, organized from July 23 to 25, 2026, in Agadir. This event brought together representatives from the Souss-Massa Regional Council, the regional CGEM, property developers, and construction professionals to discuss investment and territorial development prospects. By incorporating professional real estate and construction into its agenda, INDUSTRICOM Group expands its scope to sectors directly linked to economic attractiveness, business reception, and urban transformation.
The second edition of the Oriental Meeting Days, held on October 29, 2026, in Nador, exemplifies this strategy of proximity with the territories. Under the theme "The Oriental, Driven by the Major Projects of the Royal Vision," this event gathered public officials, investors, industrialists, and entrepreneurs to discuss the opportunities presented by key infrastructural projects in the region. Central to the discussions was the Nador West Med port and industrial complex, poised to sustainably transform the logistical and industrial positioning of the Oriental region. Hicham Rahioui Idrissi highlighted investments of 54 billion dirhams through public-private partnerships, emphasizing their potential for economic unblocking, job creation, and regional attractiveness. Discussions also covered financing, infrastructure, human capital, tourism, startups, and opportunities for young entrepreneurs.
By selecting Nador for the second installment of the Oriental Meeting Days, INDUSTRIE du Maroc reaffirms its interest in territories poised to play an increasingly significant role in the Kingdom's economic landscape.
What distinguishes the initiatives led by Hicham Rahioui Idrissi is their transversal approach. Industry, energy, employment, skills, real estate, innovation, investment, and territorial attractiveness are not treated as isolated domains but as interdependent components of economic development. This approach aligns with national strategies aimed at reinforcing industrial sovereignty, stimulating private investment, fostering job creation, and minimizing territorial disparities. It is based on a fundamental belief that sustainable development can only be achieved if major industrial metropolises and emerging regions collaboratively contribute to value creation.
The contributions of INDUSTRICOM Group alongside authorities are not merely measured by the number of conferences or events organized; they also lie in the capacity to showcase regional potential, connect economic players, and create spaces for new collaborations. Naturally, it is essential to distinguish this contribution to the animation of ecosystems from the investments that have been realized, whose impacts must be assessed through measurable outcomes. From Tangier to Casablanca, Agadir to Nador, the event-driven journey around Industrie du Maroc nonetheless paints a clear picture of the economic support landscape in the Kingdom.
Through this constant mobilization, Hicham Rahioui Idrissi embodies an active conception of media entrepreneurship, where informing is no longer sufficient: it is also necessary to connect, unite, enhance, and support. His commitment exemplifies the role that private initiatives can play in building a more competitive industrial Morocco, a more dynamic territorial economy, and a more equitably shared national development.
