Omar Alami Hamedane’s participation in the 2026 edition of Bridge for Cities, held from October 28 to 30 in Vienna and organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), was marked by a bilateral meeting with Fatiha El Moudni, Mayor of Rabat. The meeting focused in particular on prospects for cooperation in youth entrepreneurship and the development of new initiatives aimed at encouraging innovation.
Held under the theme “AI & Green Innovation: Powering a Sustainable Future,” the international event brought together city officials, public policymakers, industrial experts, academics and innovation stakeholders to discuss challenges related to the sustainable transformation of territories. In this context, Omar Alami Hamedane had the opportunity to present his initiatives and exchange views with the mayor of Morocco’s capital on potential avenues for cooperation with local institutions.
Discussions focused in particular on the development of OmarLou and the Entrepreneurship Young Leaders Club, two initiatives through which the young Moroccan aims to encourage new generations to believe in their ideas, develop their entrepreneurial skills and turn their ambitions into concrete projects. The discussions made it possible to explore several avenues for cooperation and open up new prospects for supporting these initiatives.
Beyond the institutional dimension of this meeting, Omar Alami Hamedane’s approach reflects his commitment to bringing young people with entrepreneurial initiatives closer to public institutions and decision-makers. In his view, dialogue between these different stakeholders is an important tool for creating new opportunities and enabling young people to play an active role in the economic, social and sustainable development of their communities.
His commitment is also part of a broader civic and associative journey. Omar Alami Hamedane is President of the Youth Committee of the Federation of Moroccan Skills Living Abroad and a member of the Moroccan Children’s Parliament. Alongside these responsibilities, he continues his studies at Vienna International School and leads Entrepreneurial Youth Leaders (EYL), an initiative focused on youth leadership and entrepreneurship.
His participation in Vienna therefore reflects an approach that seeks to make entrepreneurship, innovation and institutional dialogue practical tools for strengthening youth engagement. This ambition forms part of a broader vision: providing young Moroccans with the means and opportunities to contribute to the discussions and projects that will shape the cities and societies of tomorrow.
