The project is impressive and constitutes “a textbook case in the art of doing things quickly and the art of doing things well”, welcomed the Adviser to HM the King.

The young people who will be there will be part of this revolution which is decisive and which will be decisive in our stakes and our challenges and in our successes in the future, in this case the civilization of the digital and the civilization of the digital and the new technologies, underlined Mr. Azoulay, welcoming the central role played by the INDH in the achievements of the foundation.
According to Mr. Azoulay, the partnership with the INDH gave the FRSDISI an impetus and a scope of intervention that would not have been possible without this partnership.
For his part, the president of the Casablanca-Settat region, Abdellatif Maazouz, stressed that the project touches on the main concerns of the region, namely economic development, the creation of businesses and employment opportunities and the encouraging innovative initiatives.
According to him, the center is a school project that emanates from a school institution, in this case the Foundation for Research, Development and Innovation in Science and Engineering, rejoicing to be a stakeholder in this project and saying open to any partnership likely to generate jobs and promote economic development.
“The region is very proud to have such a structure settling in its territory and aiming for a noble cause,” he said.
