During the inaugural session of the Euromed University of Fès (UEMF) Meetings on the Alliance of Civilizations, organized under the Royal High Patronage, focusing on the theme “The Future of Human Civilization in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)”, Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Minister Delegate in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, received the “Mediterranean 2026 Prize.”
This distinction recognizes her journey and commitment to a Moroccan vision of digital technology and artificial intelligence, serving development, dialogue, and common values.
The award ceremony, in the presence of His Majesty’s Counselor, André Azoulay, as well as several national and international ministers and personalities, confirms Morocco’s position as a space for dialogue between cultures and an active player in major technological transformations.
It also highlights the uniqueness of the approach advocated by Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni among proponents of a Moroccan “third way” in the technological field. This approach goes beyond global polarization logics by building a balanced national model around sovereignty, openness, innovation, and responsibility.
Artificial intelligence is seen as a tool serving humanity and development. This recognition also reflects the momentum it generates in driving digital transition and administrative reform. The vision is grounded in responsible AI, open to international cooperation, while focusing on digital sovereignty issues.
The acknowledgment also celebrates progress made under the “Morocco Digital 2030” strategy and the “AI Made in Morocco” vision. The goal is to integrate artificial intelligence into public policies, structure a national model based on local innovation, enhance national capacities, and direct solutions towards high-impact sectors.
Established in 1995 by the United States of the World with the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Mediterranean Academy, the “Mediterranean Prize”, with its various categories, is awarded annually to individuals who have contributed to peace, intercultural dialogue, and cooperation among peoples.
Today, this award encompasses 181 countries and over 16,000 institutions, cities, universities, and civil society organizations.
