Positioning
MAC Institute produces institutional research on strategic sectors — examining how regulation, capital, and competitive dynamics shape value concentration.MAC Institute is based in Rabat and covers Morocco’s strategic sectors as its primary analytical territory — with a planned extension to selected African markets through the MAC AIR series.
Research Scope
MAC Institute focuses on four structural domains where regulation, capital intensity, and access constraints define how value concentrates.Cyber & systemic risk
Vulnerability, regulatory architecture, and systemic exposure.Financial infrastructure
Consolidation, payment rails, and licensing regimes.Digital business models
SaaS economics, monetisation limits, and enterprise adoption.Regulated sectors
Healthcare and education: structure, economics, and capital allocation.
Research produced independently, based on sectoral analysis and field-informed insights.
CURRENT RESEARCH
Cyber risk does not stay contained within institutions. It propagates through vendors, data flows, and third-party dependencies. This report examines where that exposure actually sits — and what it implies for risk assessment and investment decisions.
This report maps the extended attack surface of Morocco's financial sector, identifies the regulatory gap, and positions the local cyber market for the compliance-driven demand surge ahead. 10 pages. Available on request.
The Moroccan fintech market looks fragmented. It isn't — not where it matters. A small number of operators already control the licensing positions, distribution relationships, and data assets that will determine who captures value. Incumbent banks are waiting. IR-02 answers what they're waiting for.
This report maps who holds defensible positions, what will trigger consolidation, and where value is currently mispriced. Likely acquirers, regulatory licence dynamics, and the entry window. 10 pages. Available on request.
Morocco's B2B SaaS market is not immature — it is upstream of its monetisation phase. Enterprise buying infrastructure does not yet function efficiently for SaaS. The operators who will capture value are not those with the best products. They are those who have solved the access problem.
This report maps the regulated verticals where SaaS demand is non-discretionary, identifies the three access gates that separate investment-grade operators from the rest, and benchmarks Morocco within the regional monetisation curve. 10 pages. Available on request.
African markets present fragmented structures, regulatory diversity, and uneven capital allocation — resulting in distinct patterns of value concentration.MAC AIR extends MAC Institute’s analytical framework beyond Morocco, applying the same structural lens to markets where regulation, capital, and access dynamics determine where value concentrates.Initial coverage will focus on selected markets and sectors.The MAC AIR series (Africa Institutional Research) will launch in 2026.
UPCOMING
