description: Morocco is establishing itself as a key industrial location and logistical hub for the African continent. The Competence Center on Automation (CCoA), funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, BMZ has the vision to increase economic growth and to create new jobs through knowledge transfer on automation and digitalization technology in key industrial sectors. This paper shows the approach and the results of an analysis based on quantitative and qualitative interviews. The goal of this research is to analyze the degree on automation and digitalization in the selected Moroccan industries. It is based on quantitative and qualitative interviews. The target group of the pilot phase includes automotive and food industry, universities, vocational schools and political stakeholders. The results show several differences regarding technology use and training between the automotive and food industry, as well as between local and international companies in Morocco. These results will be used to develop a digitalization roadmap, tailor made for the Moroccan industry, to make the country even more competitive and to establish international joint ventures on the long term."
