ENTREPRENEURIAT INNOVANT AU MAROC : MENACES &OPPORTUNITES

Entrepreneurship is the spearhead of market economies (OECD, 1998) whose actor is considered as a maker of projects (according to Cantillon 1755), or even an engine of capitalist dynamics (according to Schumpeter 1911). He is also an opportunity finder who, despite the uncertainty and risk, enthusiastically spots profitability activities. It is clear that entrepreneurship represents a boon for developing countries by injecting new impetus into economic growth. He promises to limit poverty without limiting wealth (Victor Hugo) and to reduce the social and economic gap. Morocco has made significant progress in a perspective that aims to mark the ground for a better valuation of the entrepreneurial act. However, the effectiveness of these efforts appears to be limited by a lack of financial motivation among researchers and the absence of a risk culture of our financial institutions. Also, the economic valuation of knowledge remains far behind compared to the immediate concerns of national university researchers who invest their time and knowledge in basic research. In Morocco, entrepreneurs suffer from the lack or the inadequacy with their aspirations of the means and actions mobilized that do not benefit from fundingup to the requirements of the project carried, a sine qua non conditions for the creation of innovative companies, meeting their ambitions. Is the Moroccan entrepreneurial context well thought in order to help develop and enhance the innovation potential of the country? Is it able to attract and enable innovative entrepreneurs? Our aim is to explore both the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the different interactions it can have,in the Moroccan context,with an innovative entrepreneurial approach, while paying particular attention to the bottlenecks in the process of creating a business, that may underminetake-off opportunities for entrepreneurial activity.
