As one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies, Morocco serves as a business gateway between Europe, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Morocco also has a diverse business culture influenced by Arab, Berber, French, and Spanish traditions. The country is becoming a major player in the renewable energy sector with ambitious projects for solar and wind power, and is investing heavily in infrastructure and technology, which offers insights into sustainable business models.
Learning how businesses operate in a developing market provides an edge for UNF students and expands their understanding of cultural nuances in negotiation, management, and marketing. Being able to navigate a multilingual and multicultural business environment is a critical skill for global careers in today's world. Moreover, Morocco’s growing tech and startup ecosystem makes it a fascinating place for business and management studies.
