About the Creative City:

Casablanca is a major centre for media arts and the cultural and creative industries in general, attracting 65% of the country's companies in this sector. The Festival International d'Art Vidéo (FIAV), one of the oldest in the country, has four Arttech incubators, which foster meetings and exchanges between various representatives of the sector and support a dozen schools and training centres dedicated to media arts. Casablanca thus offers an ideal setting for the development of digital creativity. 

Casablanca is also encouraging the development of the local video games industry, paving the way for a dynamic ecosystem of companies and events. This is evidenced by the Maghreb Game Conference 2016, Africa Gaming Fest 2018, Global Game Jam and Gaming Awards 2021 competition, which brought together thousands of enthusiasts and industry professionals. 

The Creative City also supports the use of media arts in other sectors, notably in the preservation and transmission of local heritage and in the development of Casablanca's Grand Museum. This will include a virtual wing, designed by representatives of the local digital industry, featuring elements of Morocco's and other partner African countries’ heritage.

• Harnessing media arts to raise awareness of the key issues shaping citizen-led development of sustainable cities; 

• Continuing with and developing international cultural cooperation, particularly in the media arts sector; and
