Moroccan firm boosts investment in IoT, cybersecurity, and telemedicine across the Middle East

Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Aba Technology, a leading Moroccan tech group, is planning to enter the Saudi market as part of its broader strategy to expand across the Middle East, according to Group CEO Mohamed Benouda.

Speaking to Asharq Business on the sidelines of GITEX Africa in Marrakech, Benouda revealed that the company has invested approximately $40 million over the past five years. These investments include semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Morocco and dedicated research centers focused on engineering, cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT), and telemedicine.

He noted that the Middle East presents significant opportunities, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where the technology landscape is maturing rapidly. Benouna explained that the company is exploring a market entry in the Kingdom to better support its partners and tap into the region’s potential.

Aba Technology operates across several high-impact sectors, including healthcare, artificial intelligence, smart city management, and logistics. The group currently has a presence in Morocco, France, and Spain, and earlier this year acquired the UAE-based Modern Clinic Group, a provider of telemedicine and digital healthcare services.

The company’s move into Saudi Arabia aligns with its mission to scale its innovative tech offerings and contribute to digital transformation initiatives across the region.
