His Majesty King Mohammed VI, accompanied by HRH Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, chaired on Friday at the Royal Palace in Casablanca the presentation and launch ceremony of the project to build a landing gear production factory for Safran in Nouaceur
Considered one of the largest manufacturing centres in the world for Safran Landing Systems, the plant will represent an investment of more than EUR 280 million, create 500 jobs, and operate on 100% decarbonised energy, while helping attract new suppliers within the Moroccan ecosystem. The future site will be located within the integrated aeronautics and space platform Midparc.
It will endow the Kingdom with advanced capabilities in precision machining, high-technology assembly, testing, certification and advanced maintenance. Dedicated to the Airbus A320, the factory will be built to the highest standards and equipped with modern, high-performance production tools.
The project bears witness to the attention granted by His Majesty the King to Morocco’s industrial development and highlights the momentum driven by the Sovereign to position the Kingdom as a competitive industrial platform on a global scale.
Minister of Industry and Trade Ryad Mezzour underlined that in two decades Morocco has risen to the rank of a world-reference aeronautical platform. In this dynamic, Safran, a partner of the Kingdom for over a quarter of a century, occupies a special place by accompanying the move upmarket of the national industry.
The plant will be developed on a land base of more than seven hectares. For Mezzour, manufacturing landing gear systems in Morocco demonstrates mastery of complex technologies and marks a new step in consolidating integration into global value chains. He added that the project opens prospects for Moroccan youth, with 25,000 talents already active in the sector.
Safran Chairman Ross McInnes welcomed the continuation of this partnership, recalling the launch last October of the aircraft engine industrial complex under the presidency of His Majesty the King. The project will support the ramp-up of Airbus A320 production while preparing future aircraft generations.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, His Majesty the King presided over the signing of the memorandum of understanding relating to the project.

IQM and Zurich Instruments Launch Real-Time Quantum Error Correction Demonstrator with NVIDIA NVQLink16.3.2026 22:24:00 CET | Press Release
Today, IQM Quantum Computers and Zurich Instruments announce a joint project to build and operate a real-time quantum error correction (QEC) demonstrator, enabled by the NVIDIA NVQLink platform. This project marks a significant milestone toward scalable and fault-tolerant quantum computing designed for enterprise and datacenter deployment. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260316511715/en/ IQM and Zurich Instruments launch real-time quantum error correction demonstrator with NVIDIA NVQLink As enterprises and public institutions worldwide move from quantum exploration to long-term deployment, the challenge has evolved beyond simply accessing quantum hardware. The focus is now on reliably operating quantum computers, seamlessly integrating them into existing compute infrastructure, and scaling them toward fault tolerance. The announced project directly addresses these needs by focusing on full-system integration f
Kinaxis Advances Large-Scale Supply Chain Optimization with NVIDIA AI16.3.2026 21:30:00 CET | Press Release
Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX: KXS), a global leader in supply chain orchestration, today announced a new milestone in advancing large-scale supply chain optimization within the Kinaxis Maestro™ platform. Maestro already delivers high-performance optimization across complex global supply chains, and Kinaxis is now extending that leadership by leveraging GPU acceleration powered by NVIDIA cuOpt™ and NVIDIA AI infrastructure. As supply chains grow in scale and complexity, planning models must reconcile tens of millions of variables across extended time horizons and multiple planning levels. As model size expands, the number of potential decisions can scale into billions, dramatically increasing computational needs. Organizations are no longer constrained by insight alone. They are constrained by how quickly they can iterate. In testing on a large-scale semiconductor planning model with nearly 50 million decision variables, Kinaxis achieved up to a 12X reduction in total end-to-end calculation time.
