The overall objective of this call for proposals is to contribute to strengthening the cultural and creative industries sector as a driver of economic development and social inclusion for young people in Morocco.
The funded projects will support the development of the country’s creative ecosystem, the promotion and growth of creative entrepreneurship in Morocco, and job creation in this sector through concrete, dynamic, and sustainable initiatives.
Proposed projects must therefore demonstrate a structuring approach for the ecosystem and their ability to make a lasting impact on the sector. Certain fields are considered promising in terms of employment, value creation, and youth interest. These include, but are not limited to: film and audiovisual (including video games and animation), digital media, music, performing arts, and design. Some projects may specifically target these sectors.
The final beneficiaries of the action are Moroccan cultural and creative startups and enterprises (based on the creation of cultural value and/or artistic or other individual or collective creative expressions, whether commercially oriented or not). The term “startup” refers to newly created or scaling companies with high development potential.
