Economic Performance
Our innovation strategy is based on three key verticals: ports and services, industry, and logistics.
Port and Services

Industry

Logistics
Organize a logistics corridor that is a key driver and connector for port and industrial activities These verticals are supported by several cross-functional thematic applications such as green energy, Big Data, and artificial intelligence.
Territorial Performance
The second objective is territorial development, which is an integral part of Tanger Med’s prerogatives and a key component of our CSR strategy. Innovation is becoming a vector for job creation at the local level, helping to increase the skills of the Group’s surrounding area. It is in this context that two major projects have been launched in 2021.
Launch of the Lycée Méditerranéen (Mediterranean High School)
In 2021, Tanger Med Group launched the Lycée Méditerranéen, which welcomed its first class of students in the MPSI (Mathematics, Physics, Engineering Sciences) branch of the scientific preparatory classes for engineering schools in September.
