Why is it important?
The study shows that firm size, formal training, and informal sector competition are the main drivers of product process, R&D investment, and foreign certification innovation. Furthermore, foreign ownership and the exporter status also significantly impact firms' innovation. The results indicate that small and medium-sized enterprises are less likely to innovate compared to large firms, and firms in the manufacturing sector are more likely to innovate compared to service sector firms.

Perspectives
The findings of this study can be used by enterprises to develop effective strategies for innovation and by policy-makers to enhance the competitiveness of the Moroccan economy.
