Planing and Insights
In recognition of the need to fill the gap in the field of organization and supervision of inventors and innovators and the coordination with the players and institutions concerned in Morocco and abroad, the creation of the Inventors Union was conducted to train and encourage inventors under the chairmanship of Mr. Abdelaziz MOUSTAOUI who is among the first young Moroccans interested in this field at national and international level. And given his experience and expertise, he is making great efforts with the members of the executive bureau and the secretariat to create a new technology specific to Morocco so that it will develop considerably.
