Morocco is currently at a major geostrategic turning point. In a world marked by the fragmentation of blocs, the resurgence of geo-economics, and the intensification of energy and technological rivalries, nations that control connectivity are becoming the true centers of gravity of the 21st century.

At the crossroads of the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the African continent, Morocco is called upon to consolidate its role as a strategic hub, a bridge between regions, and an architect of new trade and energy routes. By fully embracing its geography, its Atlantic reach, and its continental influence, the Kingdom can join, by 2035, the select group of ten geostrategic powers shaping the world order. For power today no longer belongs to those who dominate territories, but to those who know how to connect economies, ideas, and nations.

The Atlantic Initiative, launched by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, is an ambitious vision that consolidates regional integration and promotes a redefinition of the Atlantic space as an area of sharing, solidarity, and co-prosperity. The African Atlantic, long perceived as an area of vulnerability—irregular migration, cross-border trafficking, and crime—is destined to become an engine of security, growth, and innovation.

The Sahel countries will not be left behind: a logistics corridor linking their economies to Moroccan ports, particularly Dakhla Atlantic, will offer them direct access to global markets. Morocco, thanks to its rapidly developing Sahara and its pivotal position at the heart of the Europe-Africa-Americas routes, will become a strategic hub: cutting-edge logistics platforms, competitive industrial zones, energy networks, and digital cables will make it a vital node connecting three continents.

The creation of an African Atlantic Organization would guarantee the smooth functioning of these exchanges: trade flows, maritime security, energy stability, and the collective resilience of the coastal states, from the Sahel to Europe. Such an institutional framework would sustainably consolidate Morocco's leadership in this evolving region.

Morocco is establishing itself as a leader in the blue economy and critical maritime routes. As such, the Kingdom is becoming the essential connector of Atlantic Africa and the strategic bridge linking it to Europe, the Arab world, the Mediterranean, and the Sahel. Morocco does not seek to conquer territories, but rather to foster positive and balanced integration among all coastal countries within a shared vision of trade, peace, and common prosperity.

In the energy sector, Morocco is poised to become a leading African green energy powerhouse. It boasts some of the world's most competitive solar and wind power potential and is positioning itself as a future global leader in the production and export of green hydrogen. Its current and future electrical interconnections with Europe will ensure mutual energy security during times of crisis or supply disruption.

Furthermore, the Kingdom's attractiveness to low-carbon industries—batteries, electric vehicles, advanced materials, deep tech—reinforces its role in the global energy transition. This energy symbiosis, based on positive and non-coercive interdependence, offers a source of stability for both Africa and Europe, at a time when some North African actors are tending to instrumentalize energy for political ends.

Thus, energy becomes for Morocco a lever of sovereignty, industrial competitiveness and positive influence, serving a prosperity shared between the two shores of the Mediterranean and the whole of the African continent.

Investment in corridors and connectivity is vital for an influential Morocco by 2035. Tangier Med, the leading port hub in the Mediterranean and Africa, ensures a seamless connection between Mediterranean, Atlantic, and African trade flows. The extension of the high-speed rail line to Agadir and then Dakhla will strengthen Morocco's continental logistics power by bringing productive regions closer to global markets.

At the crossroads of the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the African continent, Morocco is called upon to consolidate its role as a strategic hub and bridge between regions.

At the same time, the key transport corridors linking the Atlantic to the Sahara and West Africa will transform a long-vulnerable region into a thriving hub for development, trade, and innovation. With Europe, the value chain can become a model of industrial co-production: a continuous and secure flow will guarantee the resilience of supply chains in the face of geopolitical risks.

Thus, Morocco will position itself as a sovereign partner for Europe and as a catalyst for economic transformation in Africa. A new geo-economic center of gravity is emerging.

Morocco must continue and strengthen its diplomatic and security leadership. The opening of consulates in the southern provinces, as part of a peaceful and realistic solution to the artificial conflict surrounding its historical territory, constitutes a major step towards consolidating the Kingdom's territorial integrity and its African roots. These diplomatic missions will become hubs for economic development and logistical connectivity, ensuring the smooth flow of trade and the free movement of people.

Furthermore, the fight against terrorism in North Africa and the Sahel gives Morocco a central geostrategic role. By leveraging its key partnerships with the United States, the European Union, the Gulf States, and numerous African states, the Kingdom can continue to act as a driving force for security coordination, creating an environment conducive to investment, job creation, and regional prosperity. By integrating artificial intelligence into cybersecurity, border control, and intelligence, and by cooperating with ECOWAS, the Sahel countries, and CEMAC, Morocco is establishing itself as a vital player in the continent's stability. It serves as a security anchor in an unstable and strategic neighborhood.

This leadership also relies on powerful soft power. Knowledge, culture, religion, the training of imams, education, and football are the pillars of a positive and inclusive influence. Morocco's plural identity—Arab-Islamic, Amazigh, Hebrew, African, Mediterranean, and Andalusian—is not a source of division, but a unique geocultural strength. Where some fear cultural mixing, Morocco is proud of it. This managed diversity allows it to engage naturally with a mosaic of actors, in a spirit of peace, cooperation, and solidarity.

In addition to this, there is a leadership based on expertise: aerospace engineering, medical technologies, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and industrial innovation strengthen the"Made in Morocco" label and position the Kingdom within the value chains of the future. Morocco must also develop a comprehensive narrative, because those who write the narrative shape the strategy… and those who shape the strategy become powerful.

Morocco in 2035 is a global powerhouse. Its aim is not domination, but the networking of the world. Through control of green energy flows, the development of maritime and logistical corridors, inclusive diplomacy, and strategic infrastructure, the Kingdom can rise to the top 10 geostrategic powers. Morocco is not merely a gateway between continents; it is becoming the place where the future is being built.

Morocco is no longer on the periphery of the world: it is reshaping its power dynamics. 2035 will not be an arrival, but the beginning of an era.
