Moroccothon 2026
The hackathon for Morocco's global tech community.
Teams live in the Global Moroccans workspace. Set your password from the email we sent you, then you are in.
The problem
Moroccan-owned businesses in the US run on thin margins and long hours. Each team is paired with a real business problem and has one day to build something that actually works for it.
What you are building
Ship a working solution, not a slide deck. Show the business how it would adopt it. Non-coders and engineers build side by side.
