Aerospace / Safran Connection — VERDICT
NOT FOUND. No published work, consulting role, or partnership linking Dr. Harrizi to Safran, GIMAS, MIDPARC, or the aeronautical sector. His discipline is economics/management, not engineering. Aerospace connections at ENSA Berrechid (Airbus, Safran, Crouzet, Hexcel) are institutional school-level partnerships, not personal to him.
DigiTPME Relevance Assessment
Strengths
- Economic Intelligence framework — his core expertise reframes DigiTPME’s value proposition: not just IoT, but industrial competitive intelligence infrastructure. Powerful framing for Moroccan industrial decision-makers
- LISA Team 3 sits at the intersection of IS adoption + organizational performance — the exact academic framing needed for DigiTPME’s Industry 4.0 maturity model
- Colleague Razane CHROQUI researches business incubator performance and IS adoption — potentially co-author on a DigiTPME-adjacent paper
- Accessible — professor at ENSA Berrechid where the user studies; low barrier to engagement
- LAMSAD connection — his PhD labs link him to the math/AI/decision-support community at UH1
Gaps
- No published work on Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, MQTT, Unified Namespace, or IIoT
- Research focus is educational / public sector governance, not industrial operations
- No CBAM or OCP Group connections documented
Strategic Angle
LISA Team 3 has never published on industrial digital maturity — this is a white-space opportunity. A DigiTPME × LISA co-authored paper on “Moroccan Industrial Digital Governance” would be a first for the lab and a credibility anchor for the startup.
Action items
- 2026-05-25 — Verify institutional email format (test
d.harrizi@ensab.uh1.ac.ma) - 2026-05-25 — Attend one of his classes or office hours to establish direct contact
- 2026-06-15 — Explore co-authorship angle on Moroccan industrial digital maturity with Razane CHROQUI
- 2026-06-15 — Check if LAMSAD (lab director: Boujemâa ACHCHAB) has any Industry 4.0 or data science projects relevant to DigiTPME
Open items
- What courses does he teach in the current semester at ENSA Berrechid?
- Does LISA have any active industrial partnerships (not just the school-level ones)?
- Is Razane CHROQUI open to industry-academia collaboration?
- Does LAMSAD have any OT/IT data science projects?
