The Moroccan Initiative for Space Industry (MISI), a non-governmental organization created in Morocco in 2021, developed from the collaborative efforts of a diverse group of young individuals. This team comprises scientists, engineers, space industry experts, entrepreneurs, and devoted STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) outreach program managers. The mission of MISI is to contribute to the development and the fostering of a vibrant and inventive environment that encourages the growth and expansion of Morocco’s space industry.
MISI focuses on stimulating innovation in space-based solutions, tackling regional concerns such as resource management and environmental monitoring, and promoting the creation of a competent space workforce. Through these comprehensive programs and activities, MISI aims to serve as a pivotal bridge between industry, academia, and the public. This mission crosses national lines, trying to weave solid threads of collaboration with African and International partners to enhance the regional capacities.
Bridging international space initiatives with local expertise, MISI combines global reach with deep understanding of regional space sector development. Our team’s diverse background and international exposure positions us as a key facilitator in the emerging space ecosystem.
MISI organizes AMESC 2025, uniting 700+ stakeholders from 30+ countries. We co-organized the 6th AF-SGW, engaging 120 representatives from 23 nations and 5+ international space agencies.
We collaborate with prominent Moroccan institutions and key international organizations. These partnerships facilitate knowledge exchange among students and professionals globally.
Our ExoLab-Mor connects Moroccan students with the ISS. We're developing lunar habitat concepts and collaborating on a Lunar Automated Rover project.
MISI and UM6P are establishing the SIC to house researchers and enable ISS experiments. It will address national and continental challenges through space technologies.
We participate in major space events and organize the AMAZE Space Camps. These initiatives engage professionals and students, fostering collaboration.
Our diverse team brings global perspective to Morocco's space sector. We've conducted studies bridging international initiatives with local needs across key sectors.
MISI drives space innovation by developing solutions for regional challenges, building workforce capacity, and fostering collaboration between industry, academia, public sectors, and international partners, particularly in Africa.
