The Data Center Forum is coming to Casablanca Morocco, the new continental leader in digital infrastructure.

On September 18, 2025, Casablanca will host the Data Center Forum Africa, a landmark event for IT decision-makers and key players in the continent’s digital transformation.

Organized by Mark-Com Event, a specialist in B2B conferences in the fields of IT, cybersecurity, and telecommunications, this new edition will bring together around fifty public and private decision-makers from Morocco, the Maghreb, and Francophone Africa to discuss strategic issues related to the modernization of data centers, sovereign cloud, artificial intelligence, and sustainability.

Morocco, the driving force behind the data center boom in Africa

With 23 data centers recorded on its territory, Morocco has become the leading Francophone African country in terms of installations. This leadership is reinforced by the recent launch of a data center project dedicated to artificial intelligence, led by an international consortium composed of Naver, Nvidia (provider of GPUs and AI solutions) and Taqa Morocco, which will provide an energy capacity of 500 MW.

A true digital gateway between Africa and Europe, the Kingdom appeals with its stability, efficient power grid, international connectivity, and rapidly growing tech ecosystem, making it one of the most promising players in the MENA region in terms of digital infrastructure.

A sector in full transformation

Long confined to a supporting infrastructure role, data centers are now at the heart of digital strategies. The rise of artificial intelligence, the explosion of data, concerns over digital sovereignty, and environmental goals are accelerating a structural transformation of the sector.

In this context, the Data Center Forum Africa 2025 provides a unique platform to understand ongoing developments, share feedback, and identify performance drivers for the years ahead.
