Financial Times has partnered with Tanger Med around a series of three digital events during 2021, under the theme “A NEW ERA FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE”. Three events were organized:
1. Selecting a global hub for industry, logistics and fulfilment
Organized on April 8, 2021, the 1st digital event dealt with the key success factors of an industrial and logistics platform, crucial for the strategic development of these activities.
Around an insightful debate, Mr. Jonathan Wheatlley, Emerging Markets Correspondent, interviewed Mr. Jaafar Mrhardy, Board member and Managing Director of Tanger Med Zones, to discuss the main global challenges in the industry, logistics, and marketing execution for global leaders and SMEs.
During this event, Mr. Jaafar Mrhardy declared that the industry in Morocco is attractive because it provides a secure working environment for multinationals and Moroccan companies meeting international standards.
He also recalled that the multinationals present in Tanger Med Industrial Platform were not only able to continue their activities during the period of the health crisis, but also to develop them by taking over orders from countries where industrial operators were not operational.
