Learn how CDG Invest's 212Founders program has become a key player in Morocco's startup ecosystem, supporting over 135 startups and making 24 investments. The program evolves with Expand212 and HQ212 to propel future regional and global champions.
Launched in 2019 by CDG Invest, the 212Founders program has rapidly established itself as a pivotal player in structuring Morocco's startup ecosystem. At a time when investment funds were scarce and support initiatives limited, 212Founders acted as a true catalyst, propelling the first generations of high-potential founders towards success.
Impressive Track Record Over Five Years
After five years of dedication, the results speak for themselves:
- Over 135 startups supported.
- 24 capital investments, ranging from pre-seed to Series A.
- 12 successful international expansions.
- Mobilization of over 40 co-investors, both nationally and internationally.
With its strategic presence in Casablanca, Marrakech, and the renowned Station F in Paris, 212Founders builds essential bridges between the entrepreneurial scenes of Morocco and Europe, facilitating access to new markets and opportunities.
A New Phase for Scaling startups
As the Moroccan startup ecosystem has significantly matured, 212Founders is now entering a decisive new phase. The program is repositioning to target and support startups in their "scale-up" phase—those ready to accelerate growth and expand. The ambition is clear: to foster the emergence of future regional and global champions from Morocco.
Two Strategic Axes for Maximum Impact
212Founders' new approach is structured around two main pillars:
- Expand212: This component is dedicated to Moroccan startups with the potential and desire for international expansion (Europe, MENA, Africa). An investment ticket of approximately 13 Million MAD is offered to finance this growth.
- HQ212: Designed for international startups looking to establish their headquarters or a major hub in Morocco, this program provides financial support of up to 9 Million MAD, facilitating their establishment and development on the continent.
Beyond funding, 212Founders offers holistic support: incubation, advanced technical assistance, privileged access to a vast network of experts, investors, market opportunities, and strategic legal resources. More than just an accelerator, 212Founders positions itself as a true long-term strategic partner, fully dedicated to innovation and the growth of future enterprises.
