A separate Gamification Lab programme has MAD 10 million for 2027-2029, in partnership with CDG Invest. It aims to support Moroccan studios and training in digital occupations.

The specialised hub is intended to bring developers together and attract investment. These remain public policy objectives: available reports do not establish an opening date or the number of jobs actually created. The MAD 460 million figure is the project’s total cost, rather than an annual expenditure announced for 2027.
