The Innov Invest Fund (FII), a public program dedicated to financing and supporting innovative entrepreneurship, has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining the "Highly Satisfactory" rating from the World Bank. This is the highest rating in the World Bank's evaluation system. The FII was initiated with financial and technical support from the World Bank and has been implemented by Tamwilcom on behalf of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Since its launch in 2017, the FII has made notable progress, supporting nearly 1,000 entrepreneurs and financing over 500 startups with more than 590 million dirhams (MDH) in funding. This funding was mobilized in the form of grants, loans, and investments. The program has also contributed to the structuring of four seed and venture capital funds, which have invested over 500 MDH in around 40 startups.
The FII's achievements demonstrate its effectiveness in promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in Morocco. The program has enabled the development of a robust ecosystem for startup financing and support. Furthermore, the FII has facilitated the registration of over 40 patents, highlighting the technological potential and innovative capacity of the supported companies.
The "Highly Satisfactory" rating is a testament to the FII's success in achieving its objectives. The program has been instrumental in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in Morocco, and its impact is expected to be long-lasting. The FII's accomplishments have also contributed to the growth of the Moroccan startup ecosystem.
The Moroccan government has been actively promoting entrepreneurship and innovation as part of its economic development strategy. The FII is one of several initiatives aimed at supporting startups and promoting economic growth. The program's success is expected to inspire further investment in the country's startup ecosystem.
The FII's achievements are also a reflection of the strong partnership between the Moroccan government and the World Bank. The World Bank has provided significant financial and technical support to the program, enabling it to achieve its objectives. The partnership has been instrumental in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in Morocco.
Moving forward, the FII is expected to continue playing a vital role in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in Morocco.
