Strategic Priorities IT industry Context Moroccan IT Industry suffers from a weak domestic demand and a limited export opportunity • Fragmented IT offer; • Limited domestic demand largely catered by the import of high added value projects; • Export is limited and has not reached the critical mass to compete at the international level. IT offshoring has shown rapid growth, creating tension on the market • IT offshoring growth has exceeded expectations (+270% of turnover based on 2008 forecast); • The rapid installation of offshorers has induced competition on qualified IT resources; • Special attention should be given to offshorers already installed.
