Summary: | Climate-smart development is a rapidly
growing area in Morocco, and indeed much of the world. It
has simultaneously been proven to boost economic development
and contribute to more sustainable economic development by
reducing emissions and energy costs, creating jobs, and
increasing economic opportunity. A World Bank Group (WBG)
team, together with the support of Cluster Solaire’s and the
Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), undertook a
climate entrepreneurship ecosystem diagnostic in Morocco.
The purpose was to shed light on the complexities of the
country’s climate entrepreneurship ecosystem. The
overarching aim of this report is to inform different
ecosystem stakeholders in Morocco on how to spur and sustain
high-growth, green entrepreneurship and innovation activity.
At the same, this report also aims to increase the awareness
of and support to green entrepreneurs, as well as contribute
substantively to the design of the aforementioned
International Finance Corporation (IFC)-supported activity. |
