Bold ventures.
Grounded impact.
Built for Morocco
and the world.
Make it stand out
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
The Growth Engine is a new subsidiary that will oversee and facilitate the venture building activity of OCP and UM6P.
Our ecosystem is rich with entrepreneurial talent and ambition. Sustained leadership in our sector and beyond, will be fostered by bold ventures with high upside that challenge convention and unlock entirely new sources of growth.
Venture building gives us the platform to pursue these transformative opportunities with speed and intention — all while preserving the strength of our core business. It’s a disciplined pathway to explore disruptive ideas, test them quickly, and scale the ones that stick. For the first time, we’re putting in place a structured, repeatable model that aligns our talent, tools, and ambition — accelerating the path from concept to company, and creating lasting impact for The Group.
Our Focus
The Growth Engine will focus on venture opportunities that advance climate and sustainability goals, leveraging UM6P’s technology and knowledge assets in key domains to help lead the next phase of economic development in Morocco and across Africa.
We identify, develop and invest in breakthrough ideas that:
Place bold bets in large, high-growth global markets
Extend our reach into new customers underserved by our business today
Are capable of evolving into a standalone business
Operate technology-driven, scalable business models
Our Goals
The Growth Engine will work across the ecosystem to validate venture ideas from their earliest stages, creating a pathway for those ideas to scale — whether within the OCP/UM6P ecosystem or as independent ventures.
Over time, we aim for the Growth Engine to strengthen the broader entrepreneurial landscape across the company and country, improving both the quality and resilience of local founders.
