— Our pillars

The Green OpenLab Foundation operates on four fundamental pillars that guide our mission to transform agriculture through innovation and technology.

Our first pillar, Proximity, focuses on creating meaningful connections between the agricultural and technology sectors. We achieve this by establishing physical and operational bridges that bring farmers closer to technological solutions, maintaining demonstration areas at our FirmaTech campus, and ensuring consistent local engagement through regional farmer meetings and accessible technology testing options.

Our second pillar, Pedagogy, emphasizes comprehensive skill development and knowledge transfer. Through our Smart Agriculture Academy, we deliver structured training programs, digital agriculture courses, and specialized certification paths. This educational approach combines theoretical learning with hands-on experience, ensuring farmers and agricultural advisors gain practical skills while also providing targeted training for the next generation of farming professionals.

Demonstration, our third pillar, provides tangible proof of concept through our FirmaTech facilities. These spaces serve as live  demonstrations where farmers can witness technology in action, test new solutions, and experience real-world applications of agricultural innovations. Our demonstration areas include digital plots for experimentation, prototype testing zones, and interactive technology exhibitions that showcase the practical benefits of AgriTech solutions.

Our fourth pillar, Open Innovation, creates a dynamic ecosystem that transforms agricultural challenges into opportunities. Through initiatives like the Green Open Challenge, we facilitate direct connections between farmers and young innovators, supporting the development of startups and MVPs. This approach ensures that technological solutions are not just created but are specifically tailored to address real farming needs, while fostering an environment of collaborative innovation through strategic partnerships with educational and research institutions.

— Our vision

Green OpenLab envisions itself as a catalyst for the modernization of agriculture through the adoption of innovative and accessible technologies, along with environmentally-friendly best practices. Our journey began in 2018 with the "Vert de Terre" initiative, a year-long program training youth in agricultural technology with French expertise. In 2020, we established our AgriTech ecosystem, creating a firm model and greenhouse in partnership with OFPPT, followed by the founding of our Innovation Center in 2021. The year 2022 marked several significant milestones: we hosted Agriculture Minister Mr. Mohamed Sadiki, inaugurated FirmaTech Campus as Morocco's first digital smart farm, officially launched the Green OpenLab Foundation, and initiated the first edition of our Green Open Challenge program funded by INDH. 2023 proved to be a transformative year as we introduced our Digital Immersive Farm concept at SIAM, earning the Innovation Prize from Prince Moulay Rachid, We organized the inaugural AgriTech Expo and established a crucial partnership with Think Human Foundation. Early 2024 saw the launch of our second Green Open Challenge edition, further expanding our impact. Through these milestones, we've built a comprehensive ecosystem bridging traditional farming with modern technology. Our initiatives now support 30 young innovators through the Green Open Challenge, aid 15 farmers with advanced technology through our Think Human Foundation partnership, and connect over 200 farmers with more than 30 innovative startups annually through our AgriTech Expo program. During the expo, we present a white paper developed through collaborative efforts of young professionals across various disciplines and industry experts. This initiative demonstrates our dedication to fostering future agricultural leaders by integrating traditional farming wisdom with cutting-edge technical expertise, while providing participants with valuable credentials to advance their careers.
