UM6P AND TANGER MED STRENGTHEN THEIR COLLABORATION TO TRAIN DIGITAL TALENT

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and Tanger Med Group have signed a new agreement, continuing the partnership initiated in 2021 with the creation of the 1337 MED campus. This phase structured a “Tanger Med AI Program,” supervised by the UM6P AI Lab, involving students in real-world use cases for the benefit of businesses in Tanger Med’s ecosystem.

The projects applied AI, automation, data analysis, and cybersecurity to real-world port, logistics, and industrial challenges. Tanger Med brought its partners together to draw up operational requirements, which were met by jointly-developed, adaptable solutions, while students benefited from hands-on experience that stepped up their skills development.

For UM6P, the approach linked theory and practice, training individuals capable of communicating with professionals and responding to complex technical challenges using agile and contextualized approaches. With around 400 students, the 1337 MED campus (based on peer learning and project-based learning) has found a natural extension in the “Tanger Med AI Program,” where the field has become the classroom. This collaboration was part of the industrial consolidation of the Moroccan economy, driven by logistical efficiency, process digitization, and territorial integration.
