RABAT, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Morocco and Boeing signed Tuesday in the Moroccan city of Tangier a draft agreement for the establishment of a Boeing industrial ecosystem in Morocco.
Under the agreement, which was signed during a ceremony chaired by King Mohammed VI, Boeing and Morocco will give structure to an ecosystem composed of suppliers and organize a sourcing platform based in the North African kingdom.
This ecosystem will generate an additional annual turnover from exports of one billion U.S. dollars, allow the setting up of 120 Boeing suppliers and create 8,700 new specialized jobs.
Boeing will implement dedicated training programs to cover the training needs of its ecosystem.
Over the past decade, the aeronautics sector in Morocco has witnessed a remarkable development and the North African country is currently manufacturing and supplying parts for Airbus, Boeing, Dassault Aviation and Bombardier.
