Public authorities in Morocco are aware of the key role of innovation as a driver of the Moroccan economy competitiveness. That is why they have been working for over 15 years, in coordination with several actors from the private sector and civil society, to set up a National Technology Innovation System. These efforts are coordinated through a policy focused on boosting innovation and helping bring universities, industry and research closer together. However, till today, the results remain below expectations. In this paper, we propose to study the different strategies, programs and incentives for innovation promoted by public authorities in Morocco.The analysis is performed by distributing the innovation promotion programs and mechanisms into three components; the first component "Promoting the creation of innovative technology start-ups", the second component "Promoting the exploitation and the valorization of research results" and the third component "Promoting innovative activities within companies".
