JCtrans 2026 Africa Regional Conference Positions Morocco as a Strategic Gateway for Global Logistics Expansion

February 10, 2026 at 00:01 AM EST

Shanghai, China, 10th Feb 2026 – From March 5 to 6, 2026, the 2026 Africa Regional Conference, hosted by JCtrans, will be held at the Hyatt Regency Casablanca in Casablanca, Morocco. More than an annual industry gathering, the conference represents a strategic opportunity for enterprises to systematically unlock Morocco’s hub value and connect directly with high-quality global partners.

As global supply chains shift from an “efficiency-first” model to a resilience-driven approach, a North African country bridging three continents—Morocco—is rapidly emerging as a critical hub for multinational enterprises, leveraging its free trade network with 55 countries and its 24-hour logistics connectivity to Southern Europe.

Morocco’s Growing Strategic Role in Global Logistics

1. Zero Tariffs and a “Green Channel” into European and American Markets
Morocco has signed free trade agreements with 55 countries and regions, including the European Union, the United States, and Turkey, enabling nearly 70% of its trade with Europe to enjoy zero-tariff treatment. For enterprises manufacturing in or transiting through Morocco, this translates into the lowest-cost access to European and American markets, significantly enhancing price competitiveness and profit margins.

2. A Strategic Launchpad for Global Expansion
Tangier Tech City in Morocco has become a benchmark for China–Africa industrial capacity cooperation. With coordinated policies, integrated infrastructure, and streamlined customs clearance, Morocco offers a scalable and replicable operational model for enterprises expanding overseas.

3. Modern Infrastructure with Europe-Comparable Logistics Efficiency
Home to North Africa’s largest container port—the Port of Tangier Med, with annual throughput exceeding 9 million TEUs—Morocco enables sea-rail-road intermodal transport with 24-hour access to Spain. Its logistics speed and reliability have positioned the country as a cross-regional distribution hub serving Southern Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East.

Morocco’s hub value has been validated by global industries: automotive leaders such as Renault and Peugeot have established manufacturing bases, driving automotive exports beyond USD 15.7 billion; the textile sector, benefiting from zero tariffs to the EU, has become Africa’s largest apparel supplier to Europe; agriculture, renewable energy, and other sectors are also attracting increasing global investment.

Four Core Values Delivered to Logistics Enterprises by This Conference

Value One: From “Awareness” to “Mastery” — Policy Insights Combined with On-Site Visits
The conference will invite leading Moroccan enterprises to share frontline operational experience and market insights, with in-depth interpretations of free trade agreement applications, incentive policies for key industries, and compliance practices. In addition, pre-conference site visits will be organized, selecting 20 participants to visit high-quality local logistics enterprises and gain firsthand exposure to operational scenarios and cooperation opportunities.
Value Two: From “General Networking” to “Precise Matching” — One-on-One Meetings
Multiple rounds of One-on-One Meetings will be arranged, supported by pre-event Accurate Matching of business needs. This ensures that each participant engages in in-depth discussions with dozens of highly relevant potential clients, suppliers, or partners within two days, substantially improving cooperation efficiency.
Value Three: Building Deep Trust in Premium Business Settings
From a welcome reception along the Atlantic coast to formal business dinners, the conference creates an open and refined networking environment. Face-to-face engagement with decision-makers in a relaxed setting delivers a level of trust and persuasion rarely matched by online interaction.
Value Four: Beyond “A Single Conference” — A Platform for Continuous Exposure
Exhibiting and sponsoring enterprises will receive:
Multi-channel brand exposure through conference brochures, on-site booths, and conference materials
Official social media interviews and global distribution
Access to the participant Company Directory and ongoing Business Opportunity Matching
