Who is 4YA?

Founded in 2020, 4YA builds on its founder’s 21 years of experience in critical systems — from hardware to sovereign LLMs. The Moroccan AI engineering company is based in Marrakech, with operations in Casablanca. We deploy sovereign LLMs, edge architectures, and autonomous agentic workflows on Morocco-aligned infrastructure (including AWS Wavelength Zone Casablanca when a project requires it), with Law 09-08 / CNDP compliance in mind.

Founder

Ali Abdel Aziz — 21 years of engineering experience (hardware, firmware, distributed systems, production AI).

Our model

4YA is a publisher of software and artificial-intelligence solutions. We design, build and operate our own products — smart POS, augmented video surveillance, conversational agents — and put that same capability to work on a limited number of client projects.

This dual activity is deliberate. Operating our own systems forces us to live with our architectural decisions: infrastructure costs, incidents, technical debt and multi-year maintenance. A pure service provider does not face that discipline.

Why data sovereignty

In Morocco, law 09-08 governs personal data processing under CNDP oversight. Most available AI offerings route that data through foreign services — moving the compliance question outside the country and outside the client's control.

Our position is structural, not commercial: we favour local or Moroccan-hosted processing. When data does not leave, compliance follows from the architecture rather than from a contractual clause nobody can verify.

How we are organised

The team is deliberately small and senior. The person who scopes a project builds it and later operates it. There is no intermediate sales layer and no subcontracted engineering: clients speak directly to those writing the code.

This choice has an accepted cost: we take on only a limited number of parallel projects. We would rather decline a project than deliver it half-built.

What we do not do

We do not build brochure sites or do standalone SEO, we do not resell licences, and we do not integrate closed proprietary platforms. Nor do we take projects where AI would be added without need: a share of incoming requests is solved by a process fix, and we say so.
