Venue and Travel

Africa Business School (ABS), established in 2016 with the aim of being the leading business school in Africa, specializing in research, advisory, and learning, is the business school of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P). UM6P is an institution oriented towards applied research and innovation, with a focus on Africa.

Dedicated to creating the continent’s future leaders through training, research, and innovation, ABS aspires to empower learners to confidently respond to the most crucial challenges facing Africa and the world. Africa Business School introduces a unique perspective on leadership, with a hybrid approach to teaching centered on the human being.

All of its programs take a holistic approach, aiming for participants to develop both analytical and practical skills—quantitative and qualitative, cognitive and emotional, managerial and technological. A cornerstone of their studies is cultivating a sense of responsibility to society, preparing them to be culturally and socially responsible leaders?

We're excited to announce that we've recently moved to the state-of-the-art facilities at the University Mohammed 6 Polytechnique in Rabat. Our campus is equipped with world-class facilities to ensure that our students have everything they need to succeed.

Rabat is served by two international airports: Rabat Salé Airport (RBA), located just a half-hour from the city, and the more frequently used Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca (CMN), which is about a one-and-a-half-hour train or car ride away.

To travel from Casablanca Airport (CMN) to Rabat, take the train from the airport to Casa-Voyageurs. From there, transfer to a train bound for either Rabat Agdal or Rabat Ville. The train station at Casablanca Airport is located in the basement (arrivals) of Terminal 1. Train schedules and ticket purchases can be found on the ONCF website. Please note that there is no train service from Rabat Salé Airport to Rabat.

Taxis are readily available in Rabat and offer an inexpensive way to get around the city. Additionally, Careem, a ride-hailing service that is a subsidiary of Uber, also operates in Rabat.

There are many hotel options in Rabat near the venue; however, we recommend booking soon. We have negotiated special rates with several conference-recommended hotels. Availability is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

The list of recommended hotels will be provided soon.
