The second day of the forum also saw the participation of Mr. Mohamed Ouhmed, Director of Hydrocarbons and Minerals Industries, as well as many important local and international experts.
The forum saw an important debate on Morocco’s competitive potential in the electric car industry as well as in the battery industry. The Ministry’s participation in the panel on resources to supply the value chain of the high-performance battery industry was an opportunity to highlight Morocco’s qualifications in sustainable energy and projects aimed at accelerating the energy transition, as well as the ministry’s programs for the sustainable management of critical minerals, which would pave the way for a new era for the chemical industry and the battery industry, in which the Kingdom is a global destination for investments in this area.
