Global supply chains are becoming increasingly complex. Manufacturers and distributors are under pressure to make location decisions that link customers with suppliers and drive industrial development in a cost-effective and frictionless way. Production lines and global logistics chains are competing to deliver on time and distance to customers, operation and distribution costs, and access to skilled and motivated staff. They’re focused on locating in an area that delivers on global connectivity while providing a business-friendly environment, cost benefits and fiscal incentives as well as skilled and qualified workforces to support business development.

In North Africa, Morocco’s Tanger Med is building on its position at the crossroads of major maritime streams and its proximity to markets in Europe, West Africa and North America, acting as an industrial development area and a logistics hub for 180 ports around the globe. 

The Financial Times and Tanger Med present A new era in international trade: selecting a global hub for industry, logistics and fulfilment. This webinar is the first in a series of briefing events being held online to examine the importance of locating in a dynamic cluster focused on industry, global logistics and fulfilment. 

Join us to discuss how to address world logistics and industrial challenges; how Morocco can support logistics, fulfilment and industrial growth in sectors such as automotive, aeronautics, renewable energy, electronics and high technology; and how Tanger Med strategic location 14KM from Europe is benefiting businesses focused on Europe, Africa and the Atlantic Basin.
