The School Arts et Métiers Rabat campus aims to train a new generation of talents, both bachelors and engineers, capable of supporting the evolution of Moroccan industry.
This is what emerges from the work of the 5th Board of Directors of the School, held yesterday, under the chairmanship of the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Ryad Mezzour. This meeting, which took place in the presence of the Director General of Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Laurent Champaney, and the Secretary General of the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, Mohamed Khalfaoui, and of the members of the council, constituted an opportunity to take stock of the positive achievements, in particular in terms of student admission, as well as the expansion of the supervision and the body of teacher-researchers, while defining the perspectives for the year 2025. For Rachid El Bouazzaoui, director of training in professions in industry, commerce and the digital economy and in the field of entrepreneurship at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, ” the school aspires to become a leading research hub, targeting key themes such as energy, water, mobility and artificial intelligence…in short, areas at the heart of current concerns, constitute structuring issues for the national economy and its future industry.
Same story with Mehdi Sebti, director of Arts et Métiers Rabat campus, for whom “the school is fully part of the remarkable industrial momentum that Morocco is experiencing and aims to become a reference hub in terms of higher education, innovation and research, to support the growth experienced by the Kingdom. The result of a partnership between the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and Arts et Métiers in France, the school was born from the desire to support the rise of businesses in Morocco through the training of engineers and frameworks of excellence serving national and continental industrial needs and through the development of research and innovation actions. The objective is to make the school a flagship of higher education in Morocco and a true technological hub for Africa.
The establishment, opened in September 2023, offers students the possibility of following either the engineering diploma, the Grande École Arts et Métiers Program, or the Bachelor of Technologies for the Industry of the Future delivered by Arts et Métiers at the same time than the professional license.
Its prospects for 2025 include the expansion of enrollment to reach 190 students, the development of cutting-edge technological platforms in particular the Evolutive Learning Factory and the intensification of partnerships with industrial players, positioning the School as a key player in Research & Innovation and industry.
