Russia will have a big pavilion called “Made in Russia” at the GITEX Africa Morocco 2026 tech show from 7 to 9 April in Marrakech. The aim is to grow Russian tech business in Africa and offer solutions that give countries more control over their technology.
The pavilion will be one of the main attractions. GITEX Africa brings together governments, investors, and companies looking for digital solutions to keep up with global changes and tap into fast-growing African markets.
“Made in Russia” is a government programme to promote Russian products and services around the world, especially non-energy goods. The Russian Export Center helps companies take part in events like this, gives marketing support, advice, and financial help, and ensures the products meet quality and cybersecurity standards.
Over 20 Russian tech companies will join, showing off products in artificial intelligence, big data, cybersecurity, financial tech, communications, Internet of Things, drones, and robotics. Notable participants include SpetsPromDesign, which makes smart security systems, and Telcor, which provides network solutions for digital infrastructure.
Alexey Andreev, Russia’s trade representative in Morocco, said the companies “can provide a wide range of solutions, from software and communications equipment to smart infrastructure and secure collaboration tools.” He added that the goal is to help countries control their tech and boost economic growth.
Russia’s pavilion builds on its success at GITEX Africa 2025, where it held more than 400 business meetings with African partners, showing growing interest in Russian tech.
GITEX Africa 2026 expects 55,000 visitors from 145 countries, over 1,500 exhibitors, and 700 speakers. The event will cover digital finance, healthcare technology, smart cities, and green tech. It also includes programs for startups, training young tech talent, and connecting African diaspora with opportunities in the continent.
The exhibition is backed by Morocco’s Ministry of Digital Transition and the Digital Development Agency, supporting the country’s “Morocco Digital 2030” plan.
