Oracle has confirmed that its advanced research arm, Oracle Labs, will get a new home in Casanearshore Park, Casablanca, Morocco, where 100 researchers will work.
Researchers at the new centre will use Oracle’s cloud, AI, and machine learning technologies to solve the most critical problems in business, science, and the government.
With its new state-of-the-art facility, the team will work with Morocco’s thriving technology sector to help find, explore, and transfer new technologies that can help Oracle’s customers’ businesses worldwide.
This effort will involve expanding internship and graduate recruitment programmes, conducting joint research with local universities, and collaborating with the local startup ecosystem so that it can participate in this global initiative.
