Business Councils

Established under the aegis of the CGEM, in partnership with its foreign counterparts, the Councils of Business play a very important role in the dynamics of economic development of Morocco and represent an essential tool for the promotion of the international exchanges, the encouragement of the partnership relations and the strengthening of cooperation between Morocco and its foreign counterparts.
