The third edition of Morocco Week is scheduled to take place in Nouakchott, Mauritania, from November 16 to 22, 2026. The event is organized by the Moroccan Embassy in Nouakchott in cooperation with the "Forum of the South" association, in partnership with the Mauritanian Ministry of Trade and Tourism, the Investment Promotion Agency, and several other entities.
Morocco Week is an economic event that brings together businessmen, companies, and government institutions from Mauritania and Morocco to explore opportunities for trade exchange and joint investment. The event features exhibition spaces, bilateral meetings between economic actors, and discussions on prospects for economic cooperation and major structural projects that can support the partnership between Nouakchott and Rabat.
The economic program includes meetings and workshops on various sectors such as industry, construction, energy, food industries, agriculture, banking services, and communications. In addition to the economic aspect, the event allows visitors to discover Moroccan heritage, traditional crafts, cuisine, and local products, with musical and poetic evenings throughout the week.
A previous edition of Morocco Week was held in Nouakchott in April 2025, focusing on sectors such as industry, construction, digital technology, pharmaceuticals, and textiles, under the theme "Made in Morocco". Morocco is one of Mauritania's main trading partners in the region, particularly in agricultural and food products that cross the border between the two countries.
The organizers have not yet disclosed the number of companies participating in this edition. The event is expected to strengthen economic ties between Mauritania and Morocco, with potential benefits for both countries. Mauritania's President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani and Moroccan King Mohammed VI have previously met to discuss cooperation between the two nations.
Morocco Week aims to promote economic cooperation and investment between Mauritania and Morocco. The event provides a platform for businessmen and government officials to discuss opportunities and challenges in various sectors. It also offers a chance for visitors to learn about Moroccan culture and products.
The third edition of Morocco Week is set to conclude on November 22, 2026. The event is expected to have a positive impact on the economic relations between Mauritania and Morocco, and potentially lead to new partnerships and investments.
