The global colocation market is booming, fuelled in no small part by increased demand for cloud and internet-based services from enterprises and consumers. The onset of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic has only served to fuel demand further, while heaping additional pressure on enterprises to digitally transform their operations and move to the cloud.
The hyperscale cloud and internet giants are increasingly looking to colocation providers in various regions of the world for access to build-to-suit or readily available datacentre capacity that they can acquire to rapidly expand their presence – or even make their debut – in certain geographical regions to meet this demand.

We have been growing with green beans by 30% annually over the last 3 years
The Moroccan region of Agadir has become one of the largest agricultural areas in the country. Intensive horticultural production has become consolidated there thanks to its abundant hours of sunshine and the mild climate that its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean gives it. It also has the support of the Moroccan Government, which has helped in the modernization of irrigation systems and the construction of a desalination plant, so that the sector can cope with periods of drought, which is one of the main challenges they face. Among the many vegetables grown in the region, green beans stand out the most. This crop was moved from Spain to Morocco years ago due to its very high production costs.
