From export to co-development
- From exporting technology to developing local knowledge and skills
- From isolated projects to structural public–private cooperation

- From competition to co-creation and shared ownership
Earlier cooperation
Route2030 builds on earlier contacts between Moroccan and Dutch universities and institutions, including exchanges with Ibn Tofail University in Kenitra and meetings in Souss-Massa. The specific Route2030 role of each organisation is confirmed before it is presented as a partner.
