• Helios Investment Partners and Fipar-Holding introduced 3MDC to support Morocco’s digital transformation by merging three local tech firms.

• 3MDC combines datacenter infrastructure, cloud services, cybersecurity, and systems integration for clients in Morocco and Southern Europe.

• Helios IV holds 44%, Fipar 40%, and founders 16%, aligning global capital with local expertise in a market projected to nearly double by 2028.

Helios Investment Partners, a private investment firm focused on Africa, and Fipar-Holding, a subsidiary of CDG Invest, announced on December 8 the launch of 3MDC, a new digital infrastructure platform aimed at supporting Morocco’s digital transformation efforts.

"This investment builds on our conviction in Africa's digital future and our track record of creating national champions in partnership with leading local institutions," said Babatunde Soyoye, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Helios Investment Partners. "The combination creates a unique Moroccan platform with the scale and expertise to enable secure, sovereign and sustainable digital growth."

The initiative brings together three established Moroccan technology firms—Maroc Datacenter (MDC), Munisys, and Medasys—into a single entity offering integrated hybrid-cloud infrastructure services. The platform is designed to serve both enterprise and public-sector clients across Morocco and Southern Europe.

3MDC will combine MDC’s carrier-neutral Tier III datacenter facilities with Munisys’ experience in enterprise cloud and cybersecurity, and Medasys’ technological expertise and local market knowledge. The resulting platform is expected to provide a comprehensive suite of digital services, including datacenter operations, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and systems integration.

Ownership of 3MDC will be divided among the partners, with Helios IV holding a 44% stake, Fipar-Holding 40%, and the founding management teams retaining 16%. The structure is intended to align international investment with institutional backing and local operational capabilities.

The launch comes amid growing interest in Morocco’s digital infrastructure sector. According to Arizton Research, the country’s data center market was valued at USD 27 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 51 million by 2028, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 11.18%. This growth trajectory highlights the sector’s potential for expansion and investment.
