Morocco will host the inaugural Supply Chain Business Tour (SCBT) in Tangier on November 25-26,2025,positioning itself as a strategic bridge between European and African supply chain networks in an era of global trade reconfiguration.


The event,organized by MAJ EVENTS—a joint venture between logistics specialist CCELOG and strategic communications firm PATHS OF MOROCCO—aims to unite key supply chain,mobility,industrial,and trade stakeholders around shared challenges and concrete solutions.


“Supply chain has evolved from simple optimization to become a lever of strategic competitiveness and sovereignty,” explained Laurent Majerus,managing partner of CCELOG,emphasizing the need for operational platforms connecting expertise between Morocco,Europe,and the Mediterranean region.


The summit features an innovative format beginning with participants boarding a privatized high-speed train from Casablanca to Tangier. Eight themed carriages will host 360 industry decision-makers,eight international supply chain experts,and startups selected by STARTGATE and UM6P for interactive workshops and networking sessions.


Tangier activities include “Supply Chain Battles” debates on digitalization,decarbonization,industrial relocation,and geopolitical resilience. Strategic agreements will establish the first MENA-Africa Supply Chain DOTANK for collaborative innovation,with deliverables presented at SCBT 2026 in Marseille.


The five-year roadmap envisions rotating venues across major Mediterranean ports: Marseille (2026),Barcelona (2027),Genoa (2028),Mersin (2029),and Nador (2030). Each edition aims to strengthen interregional links and reveal African and European territories’ logistical,and technological potential.


A dedicated digital platform will maintain year-round community engagement,tracking open innovation projects and facilitating qualified connections beyond the physical event,transforming encounters into concrete partnerships and development opportunities.
