Orange Morocco, formerly known as Médi Télécom or Méditel, is a major telecommunications operator in Morocco, founded in 1999. It provides a range of services including mobile, fixed-line, cybersecurity, and mobile payment offerings. The company was originally established as a result of a partnership between Moroccan investors from the Finance Com group and the Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion, along with Telefónica and Portugal Telecom, which held 32% and 18% stakes respectively. In 2009, the Moroccan groups Finance Com and Caisse de depot et de gestion acquired the shares of Telefónica and Portugal Telecom. Orange confirmed its acquisition of a 40% stake in Méditel in 2010 for 640 million euros and increased its share to 49% in 2015. The company transitioned to the Orange brand in 2016, becoming the first operator to market 4G services in Morocco.
