The old roads in the Tangier Medina are getting a modern futuristic makeover. The Tangier Med Port Authority has made a historic step in its innovative digital portal aimed exactly at including local artisans and small businesses (MSMEs) into the global supply chain. This project intertwines the historic area with the traditional craftsmanship and global excellence in logistics of the port of the world.
Empowering Artisans with Digital Logistics
Traders in the Medina have had difficulty going through complicated bureaucratic systems in their quest to export goods over the decades. The new Tangier Med AI platform simplifies this process by offering a “smart assistant” that automates customs declarations and freight tracking. The technology enables a rug weaver or ceramicist to instantly book shipping containers and handle paperwork in seconds without having to spend money on costly middlemen.
AI-Driven Growth for Local Economy
The portal utilizes machine learning to predict shipping costs and optimal routes, ensuring that Medina small businesses can compete on pricing with larger international players. Tangier Med can be considered as not only a transit centre but also an economic regeneration centre to the local economy, by democratizing the port infrastructure, the city is able to retain the cultural legacy of its past through the current trade.
