On November 26, 2025, the Seminar on NEV Industrial Cooperation and Financial Empowerment, co-hosted by GREEM, China EV100, and Casablanca Financial City (CFC), was successfully held in Casablanca, Morocco.
Serving as an important bridge for China-Morocco cross-border cooperation in the NEV sector, the seminar focused on the theme “NEV Investment Opportunities in Morocco: Financial Empowerment and Industrial Cooperation.” It brought together representatives from leading enterprises across China-Morocco industrial chains, top global consulting firms, and international financial institutions. By weaving together policy insights, shared experiences, and resource alignment, the event forged an integrated “industry + finance + service” cooperation platform, significantly empowering Chinese NEV supply chain companies to expand into European and African markets and accelerate their global strategy.
The seminar convened a diverse group of stakeholders, including representatives from major Chinese firms, such as Huawei Morocco, XCMG, Sinotruk, Inovance Automotive, and China Unicom Global and key Moroccan institutions including BCG, McKinsey, PwC, Dentons, Nearbuy Consulting, Renewable Energy Design, Carbon X, and Hedera. By facilitating policy interpretation and the exchange of practical experiences, the event successfully laid a solid foundation for deeper China-Morocco NEV industrial cooperation, offering comprehensive support to Chinese companies looking to expand into both Europe and Africa.
At the seminar, representatives from CFC provided a detailed overview of Morocco’s key competitive advantages: as a strategic hub linking Europe and Africa, Morocco has a mature automotive industry, abundant renewable energy resources, and multiple policy incentives—tariff exemptions, free foreign exchange flow, green loan subsidies, and carbon credit trading. In response to the central challenges faced by Chinese firms’ overseas expansion, the representative strategically outlined legal risk mitigation measures concerning localized data storage and environmental compliance, thus facilitating smoother operations and eliminating potential regulatory hurdles.
Participating enterprises engaged in in-depth discussions on key topics including smart NEV technological innovation, cross-border technology transfer strategies, and green power infrastructure development, sharing practical overseas expansion experience and cutting-edge industry insights. Leading global and local enterprises present also committed to providing diversified, customized, full-chain support for Chinese companies going global, covering strategic planning, industrial chain integration, cross-border tax planning, green power system design, carbon footprint accounting, and supply chain traceability—helping them shift from “exporting” to “develop locally.”
The successful holding of this seminar marks a strategic step in deepening China-Morocco NEV industrial cooperation and advancing the global green and low-carbon transition, fully reflecting both sides’ commitment to implementing the Belt and Road Initiative and building a community with a shared future for humanity.
Morocco, with its financial free zone policies, strong regional reach, and complete industrial support, has become a strategic hub for Chinese NEV enterprises to access Europe and Africa. At the same time, China’s strengths in a full NEV industrial chain, advanced technological innovation, and proven financial empowerment are driving sustained growth in Morocco’s new energy sector and across European and African markets.
The successful establishment of this cross-border cooperation ecosystem has effectively opened access to European and African markets for enterprises in the GREEM Morocco Exchange Program. It has not only broadened their international cooperation outlook but also created a direct, efficient resource-matching bridge.
