Join Enterprise Florida and the Winter Haven
Economic Development Council on an
Florida Export Development Mission to Morocco
May 2-9, 2015
Casablanca,
Rabat & Marrakech, Morocco
The
Kingdom of Morocco is located on the Northwest corner of Africa
with a population of 33.2 million people, a GDP of over $185
Billion and experienced a 5.1% growth rate in 2013. Governed as a
Constitutional Monarchy, Morocco also prides itself as the first
country to recognize The United States of America as an independent
country.
As the most stable country in North Africa, Morocco is
the first and only country in Africa to sign a Free Trade Agreement
(FTA) with the United States. This FTA eliminates tariffs on over
95% of currently traded U.S. consumer/industrial goods exported to
Morocco, provides enhanced protection for U.S. intellectual
property rights, including trademarks and copyrights, and imposes
tough penalties for piracy and counterfeiting.
Mission participants will benefit from prearranged
business meetings and networking events with both the private and
public sector, learn about the newest and future national
development projects, such as the Tanger Med Port operations, and
hear about the opportunities for using Morocco as a gateway to
other markets in North, West and Central Africa.
