Midparc Casablanca is the undisputed center of the Moroccan aerospace industry and a prime example of a successful industrial cluster strategy. Located in Nouaceur, in close proximity to Mohammed V International Airport, this free trade zone provides world-class conditions for global companies. Leading players such as Boeing, Bombardier (now Spirit AeroSystems), and Safran have established significant production facilities here, manufacturing highly complex components for modern commercial aircraft. Midparc is characterized by an integrated ecosystem that combines research, development, and specialized training at the IMA (Institut des Métiers de l'Aéronautique). These synergies have made Morocco one of the most dynamic aviation hubs in the world within just a few years. The zone continues to grow, attracting increasing investment in defense technology and industrial electronics, strengthening the country's technological sovereignty.
