His influence extends to the literary world as well, with two acclaimed books: Le Temps du Maroc (2021), a notable success, and Le Temps du Continent (2017), focused on Africa’s development, which earned him the 2018 Turgot Award for the best economic book of the year.

A graduate of Sciences Po Paris and holder of an MBA from HEC Paris, Abdelmalek Alaoui combines academic rigor with entrepreneurial vision, focusing on large-scale innovation and development. As a Senior Fellow in Oxford’s program, he joins a distinguished group of international leaders, reaffirming his commitment to advancing economic and social development both in Morocco and globally.
