Abstract: In many developing countries, the growth of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector is becoming a remarkable phenomenon. Such growth is influenced by a huge variety of economic (infrastructure and social development), institutional (finance and legal system) and environmental (education system and culture) factors. In this context, forms of partnerships between local firms and multinational companies can play a key role in fostering the development of the ICT- sector.This article presents a study of the state of the art of the ICT sector in North Africa. Additionally, an in depth study of the situation in Morocco was carried out. It investigates, using several case studies, the value of the different models of partnership that have been created in the ICT service sector.
