Safran’s deal launches a new LEAP engine hub in Morocco, combining MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) and assembly functions. The complex will host a 25,000 m² MRO facility handling up to 150 engines per year, plus a 13,000 m² assembly line producing 350 LEAP-1A engines annually. Operations are slated to begin in 2027. The investment totals about €350 million across the project phases. It will create around 600 direct jobs by 2030 and 300 more for the assembly line by 2029. A single test bench will serve both new and overhauled engines for efficiency. A memorandum ensures renewable energy supply to Safran’s Moroccan sites from 2026 onward. The project deepens Morocco’s role in the global aerospace value chain, boosting local industry and skills. The launch ceremony was attended by King Mohammed VI, and Safran’s top executives.

The Moroccan Dream Triumphed

In a dazzling football season that captivated fans worldwide, Achraf Hakimi was the silent architect behind many of PSG’s greatest moments. Tireless in defense and explosive in attack, the Moroccan right-back delivered assist after assist, each more decisive than the last. His golden pass to Ousmane Dembélé became the defining highlight, celebrated everywhere as the spark that secured glory.

Yet, when the Ballon d’Or was announced, it was Dembélé who lifted the trophy, not Hakimi. Many argue that the Frenchman reaped the harvest of Hakimi’s relentless work. Analysts point out that without Hakimi’s precision and vision, Dembélé’s goals would not have reached the same heights. Fans across the globe debate whether the award went to the wrong man. For them, the true hero was the one who labored, not the one who scored.

Today, Morocco reports major progress on the Guercif–Nador highway, a 104 km expressway linking the Oriental region to the national motorway network. The Driouch–Nador section, roughly 27 km, is now about 50% complete, with earthworks, backfilling, and asphalt paving actively underway. This milestone is critical, as Nador has long lacked a direct motorway connection to Morocco’s main highways. Meanwhile, the Saka–Driouch segment is under tender, and the Guercif–Saka portion has completed land clearance in preparation for construction. Once fully operational, the highway will drastically reduce travel times, improve goods transport to Nador West Med port, and boost regional economic growth. The project, with an estimated cost of 7.9 billion dirhams, is supported by both national and international funding, including the African Development Bank. By connecting Nador to Morocco’s national road network, this motorway marks a historic moment for the Oriental region, enhancing mobility, trade, and industrial potential. Local communities are already seeing the benefits of improved infrastructure, signaling a new era of connectivity.

On August 19, 2025, Moroccan scientist Maryame El Moutamid led a team at the Southwest Research Institute that discovered a tiny new moon orbiting Uranus using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The satellite, provisionally named S/2025 U 1, measures only about 10 km in diameter and orbits roughly 56,000 km from Uranus, between the moons Ophelia and Bianca. This discovery brings Uranus’s known moon count to 29 and highlights JWST’s ability to detect previously unseen celestial objects. The observations were originally made on February 2, 2025, but the public announcement came this week. Maryame El Moutamid’s leadership emphasizes Morocco’s growing presence in planetary science and space exploration. The finding has been confirmed by multiple sources, including NASA and the Southwest Research Institute. This achievement demonstrates the country’s capability to contribute to high-profile international space research. The discovery has sparked global excitement, inspiring young scientists in Morocco and across Africa. It underscores Morocco’s commitment to advancing science and technology on the international stage.

On August 21, 2025, the Mohammed VI Foundation for Science and Health in Casablanca announced a groundbreaking scientific achievement: the successful reprogramming of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), marking the first time this procedure has been carried out in Morocco. iPSCs, derived from a simple blood sample, are capable of unlimited self-renewal and can transform into any type of human cell, making them a revolutionary tool in biomedical research. This development opens new horizons for creating disease models, testing drugs tailored to specific patients, and advancing regenerative therapies for conditions affecting the heart, brain, liver, lungs, and beyond. Internationally, iPSCs are already being explored in clinical trials for degenerative diseases, retinal disorders, and blood-related conditions, and Morocco’s success positions the country to join this cutting-edge field. The Foundation emphasized that this scientific milestone paves the way for the establishment of a national platform dedicated to cell reprogramming and differentiation, supporting biomedical research, personalized medicine, and innovative treatments. Leaders of the Mohammed VI Center for Research and Innovation highlighted the institution’s ambition to make Morocco a reference hub in medical research and innovation. This historic achievement not only demonstrates Morocco’s scientific capabilities but also represents a strategic leap toward building national expertise in biotechnology and regenerative medicine.
