Virginia Hosts the 10th Edition of “Morocco Day” Celebrating 250 Years of Moroccan-American Relations
The city of Alexandria, Virginia, will host the 10th edition of the “Morocco Day for Small Businesses Summit” on June 5, organized by the Moroccan American Network under the theme: “CEO Summit and Business Networking Building.”
This year’s edition carries special significance as it coincides with the celebration of 250 years of diplomatic and trade relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States, as well as the commemoration of the 27th anniversary of Morocco’s Throne Day.
The economic event will bring together small business owners, federal procurement experts, government officials, and stakeholders in technology and innovation sectors, with the goal of strengthening economic cooperation and expanding investment opportunities and partnerships between Morocco and the United States.
The summit will be inaugurated by Mohamed Hajjam, President of the Moroccan American Network and CEO of AV Actions, who will present perspectives on economic and technological cooperation between the two nations amid ongoing transformations in the global economy.
The summit program includes specialized sessions on government procurement, the creative economy, and business expansion, in addition to networking opportunities connecting entrepreneurs with representatives from U.S. governmental and legislative institutions.
One of the summit’s key sessions will spotlight outstanding Moroccan talent in technology, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and science by showcasing success stories of Moroccans who have built distinguished careers in the United States.
The event will conclude with the presentation of the “Morocco Day 2026 Awards” honoring several distinguished individuals and partner institutions, alongside the announcement of upcoming activities and economic forums scheduled throughout the remainder of 2026 and into 2027.
For years, the Moroccan American Network has worked to strengthen economic, cultural, and educational ties between Morocco and the United States through business forums, support programs for small businesses, and trade missions between both countries.
