This year’s CIOmove took us for the first time to Morocco, where we were not only able to visit various cities and organizations, but also create a framework for an intensive exchange on current topics of the IT world. 🌍 💻
One of my highlights: We traveled several hours by train to Marrakech, and while the beautiful landscape passed by, the CIOs discussed a variety of topics that concern them in their daily work. What a great setting for quality discussions! 🚄💬
Thanks to our wonderful hosts Nadia Tazi, Michele Rochefort and Nour-dine HAJJAMI, we were able to visit the Renault Group plant in Tangier, AXA Group Operations in Technopolis and Bank Al-Maghrib in Rabat. We are very grateful for the hospitality and the exciting insights into organizations that are driving innovation in Morocco!
Speaking of innovation, many thanks to Amal EL FALLAH – SEGHROUCHNI, our scientific supporter, and her team for welcoming us to the Ai Movement at UM6P – Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. We were all very impressed by the AI activities of the doctoral students and the entire university!
And I would like to thank everyone who made this year’s CIOmove possible: our CIOs, partners, ambassadors, scientific supporters and the CIOmove team as well as FAKTOR 3 AG. This is only possible thanks to you! 💪
CIOmove@Morocco had so many more highlights, but just take a look for yourself and save the date for next year’s CIOmove@Ireland: June 26-29, 2025! 📅
