"Morocco’s 40 under 40 is a unique initiative that brings together an exceptional network of Moroccans and Moroccans living abroad, without distinction between the two. Each year, this initiative creates a cohort of 40 leaders under the age of 40, selected for their excellence, thereby opening new avenues for action and contribution to our beloved country, Morocco. These Moroccan leaders will come together to share their experiences and sector-specific visions, while being available to serve our country whenever the need arises. We are fully committed to supporting the extraordinary transformation our nation is undergoing. This momentum is reinforced by 40 mentors, emblematic figures of Moroccan success, who have chosen to join this initiative. We are proud and delighted to launch this project, which aims to inspire future generations, instill confidence in their potential, and strengthen their conviction that they can play a unique role in shaping Morocco’s future." — Badr Boussabat, President of Morocco’s 40 under 40.

These 40 exceptional Moroccans will embody this first edition, sharing their journeys in the inaugural issue of the Morocco’s 40 under 40 magazine, which will soon be available in both digital and physical formats.
