Digital ecosystem
In recent years, the local digital ecosystem has flourished in Benguerir. Seen alongside strong investment in telecoms and digital infrastructure, it has become a centre of digital innovation. For example, the city is home to an incubation space called Station M (modelled off Station F, Paris). The province is partnering with many local actors who have a stake in digital, including tech startups, research labs, and a local coding academy called 1337.
