A new creative lab has opened in Tetouan to help young Moroccans turn digital ideas into real projects. The French Institute in Morocco and the National Institute of Fine Arts are running it.
The Lab Digital Maroc 2026 aims to support next-generation content creators, giving them a full program of guidance so innovative projects can grow and succeed. The call for applications is open to artists, producers, creators, startups, students, and anyone with creative digital ideas.
The lab provides all the tools needed for high-quality work, including computers, drones, 3D printers, drawing tablets, sound and video studios, editing and digital creation software, cameras, VR headsets, and 360° cameras.
Selected participants will get mentoring from French and Moroccan experts, project funding, professional guidance, and the chance to do residencies in France and Tetouan. They will also attend international workshops and meet industry professionals.
Applications close on 1 March 2026, and a panel will choose projects based on creativity, technical quality, innovation, and feasibility. Accepted projects will be announced in March, with the program running from April to December.
Tetouan, home to Morocco’s only higher-education fine arts school, is becoming a hub where traditional art meets modern tech like VR, animation, and digital games. The lab also joins a network of French Institute Fab-Labs in Casablanca, Tangier, and Marrakech, giving young people access to high-tech tools without heavy personal investment.
