Vodafone Business and Maroc Telecom, which is majority-owned by e&, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide connectivity and digital services to enterprises in Morocco.
The first phase of the partnership will focus on smart city and energy management solutions. It will later expand to include a wider range of enterprise offerings such as Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN), Mobile Private Networks, cloud solutions, and cybersecurity services.
Clients will be able to tailor Vodafone’s digital platforms and solutions using Maroc Telecom’s deep understanding of the local regulatory environment.
The two companies aim to serve key industry sectors including logistics, manufacturing, retail, and public services. The partnership will also provide end-to-end support covering pre- and post-sales, billing, implementation, and ongoing service management.
Vodafone said the move will strengthen its presence in Africa, where it currently operates in eight countries through its majority stake in Vodacom. The operator already has a strategic partnership with e& across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In October 2023, the two groups announced plans to collaborate on services for multinational enterprise customers, leveraging their combined scale and complementary geographic footprints.
Fanan Henriques, Product & International Business Director at Vodafone Business, said: “By partnering with Maroc Telecom, we can boost the adoption of new digital services in Morocco in support of the country’s digital ambitions. Maroc Telecom’s local expertise and digital skills, combined with Vodafone’s scalable, secure platforms, will underpin new fintech, healthcare, and industrial applications driven by a young workforce and startup culture.”
