Morocco's ORA Technologies has announced the successful acquisition of Cathedis, a major player in last-mile logistics. The deal, completed in partnership with Azur Innovation Management, represents a significant milestone in ORA's mission to build a "Morocco-first" digital ecosystem that integrates payments, delivery, and logistics under one unified platform.
The acquisition positions ORA as a key operator across the entire e-commerce value chain, combining its existing services-ORA Cash digital payments, KooulMaroc e-commerce delivery, and now Cathedis last-mile logistics. This strategic move enhances ORA's capacity to provide end-to-end digital commerce solutions, offering merchants and consumers a seamless, locally powered experience.
In its announcement, ORA emphasized that this achievement marks Morocco's first startup-to-startup consolidation fully financed by local capital, a development that underscores the growing maturity and self-sufficiency of the Moroccan startup ecosystem. The transaction is being hailed as a milestone for national innovation and economic sovereignty, demonstrating the strength and potential of homegrown investment in the tech sector.
