Oracle Announces the Launch of New Cloud Region in Casablanca

Oracle’s North African public cloud region goes live in Casablanca, offering sovereign AI infrastructure to power the "Digital Morocco 2030" vision.

Oracle announces that it will be opening a public cloud region in Morocco, to meet the growing demand for cloud services and AI in that region. Located in Casablanca, this particular cloud region will provide Moroccan companies, startups, and public bodies with best possible access to Oracle’s most advanced AI and cloud computing solutions, which includes the latest generative and multicloud AI capabilities.
