Moroccan pharmaceutical industry representatives are participating in the 24th International Pharmaceutical Forum in Tunis,which opened Thursday under the theme “The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Pharmaceutical Industry.”
The Moroccan delegation includes four pharmaceutical laboratories and a pavilion dedicated to the Moroccan Federation of Pharmaceutical Industry and Innovation (FMIIP),participating in partnership with the Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development (AMDIE).
FMIIP President Mohamed El Bouhmadi told MAP that Morocco’s participation reflects its strategy to expand into foreign markets—a vital requirement for the national pharmaceutical industry to reduce production costs and increase efficiency.
“Moroccan pharmaceutical factories currently use only 30-40% of their production capacity,” El Bouhmadi noted,highlighting significant potential for additional production that could serve African markets. He emphasized that this expansion aligns with the Royal Vision to strengthen South-South cooperation through experience sharing,technology transfer,and joint investments.
Mohamed Al Hababi,President of the Confederation of Moroccan Pharmacists’ Unions,added that participation in international forums allows pharmacists to learn about new developments and engage in benchmarking of products,working methods,and services.
During the two-day event,Moroccan experts will contribute to scientific seminars with presentations on AI’s role in personalizing care and pharmaceutical education,challenges related to generative AI,and the role of national regulatory agencies in Africa.
The forum has attracted over 3,000 participants from more than 30 countries,including 50 experts and specialists and 70 exhibitors,providing an important platform for knowledge exchange and potential business partnerships in the pharmaceutical sector.
