The Regionals Logistics Meetings (RLM) are an itinerant conference held periodically in different regions of the Kingdom of Morocco. The objective is to bring together the main actors of the sector, decision-makers, business leaders, local institutional partners, academics and experts to discuss through reflection and testimony, identify local needs and objectives and propose courses of action in different sectors.
The edition will consist of 3 highlights: the conferences, the B2B meetings and the field visits.
In the first point, the aim will be to train, inform and raise awareness. To this end, the event has two round tables where the main leaders of Moroccan industry will share their experiences and their economic vision of the region. In the B2B meetings, attendees will be able to develop and establish lines of dialogue with other entrepreneurs with whom they wish to invest and collaborate. In the last part, the organizers will conduct a guided tour for entrepreneurs and investors to discover all the plans of the CRI Tangier Tetouan Al Hoceima and be aware of Logismed's logistics investment for the coming years.
