In line with Morocco’s ambition to position itself as a leading African hub for the gaming industry, a new strategic milestone has been reached through the integration of gaming industry companies into the Innovation Support Fund (FSI). To this end, an amendment to the FSI agreement was signed between the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, ANPME, and the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises, thereby officially making gaming industry companies eligible sectors.
In continuity with this dynamic, a dedicated sub-program for the gaming industry has been launched within the framework of the national industrial innovation and R&D support program for the 2026–2028 period. Its objective is to accelerate the development of innovative projects while strengthening the competitiveness and technological capabilities of Moroccan studios and startups.
This initiative is designed as an integrated support offer covering the entire value chain of video game development. From prototyping to pilot industrialization, companies benefit from tailored financial support enabling them to turn their ideas into competitive market-ready products.
The program is structured around two complementary funding offers:
- offer 1: Prototyping Support
Financial support covering up to 70% of project costs, capped at 1 million MAD, to enable the development of functional prototypes.
- offer 2: Pilot Industrialization Support
Financial support covering up to 30% of project costs, capped at 3 million MAD, to support the transition from prototypes to industrialized and market-ready solutions.
Through this initiative, the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, together with its partners, aims to identify and support high-potential gaming industry projects capable of contributing to the development of a competitive and innovation-driven national industry.
