Agenz, a Moroccan proptech startup that digitises real estate transactions, has raised $5 million to support product development and strengthen its investments in artificial intelligence.
The funding round saw participation from Breega, a European venture capital firm, Attijariwafa Ventures, and Saviu Ventures, an Africa-focused growth capital fund.
The raise comes three years after Agenz’s $1.3 million pre-Series A financing round as activity in Morocco’s property market picks up. Residential land transactions surpassed 140,000 in 2023, an increase from 2022, according to a World Bank document, highlighting the opportunity for digital platforms that simplify property transactions for users.
“We believe the future of real estate will be built on the responsible use of data and artificial intelligence,” said Malik Belkeziz, Co-founder and CEO of Agenz. “Our ambition is to leverage technology to create a more transparent, secure and accessible market, while keeping user trust at the centre of everything we do. This funding will allow us to accelerate this vision for the benefit of the entire Moroccan real estate ecosystem.”
Founded in 2021 by Malik and Badr Belkeziz, Agenz operates an integrated real estate platform that combines property valuation tools, market intelligence, solutions for professional services, and digital transaction solutions. The fresh capital will also be used to expand the company’s services for individuals, real estate agents, developers, investors and financial institutions, according to the company.
“Agenz has built, in just a few years, the platform the Moroccan real estate sector was missing, bringing together data, tools and transactions into one seamless experience,” said Driss Ibenmansour, Partner at Breega. “We believe this funding will help accelerate an already ongoing transformation of the market.”
The company said it has recorded growth in transaction volumes since launching its transaction platform in 2023, including surpassing 730,000 monthly visits on its Agenz.ma website in May 2026.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), has strongly condemned the treatment of Nigerians in South Africa, describing the latest wave of attacks and discrimination against migrants as unacceptable and deeply troubling.
Speaking after the arrival of the first batch of 258 Nigerians evacuated from South Africa, Dabiri-Erewa said the returnees were targeted despite committing no offence.
“Those 258 that came in, none of them committed any crime. The only crime they committed was the colour of their skin; they are black migrants in South Africa,” she said.
The NiDCOM boss expressed disappointment at what she described as the failure of South African authorities to adequately protect foreign nationals, warning against the blanket stigmatisation of migrants.
“If one person commits a crime, get that person and deal with that person. You cannot generalise, and their government is looking the other way, and that is the sad part,” she added.
Dabiri-Erewa said Nigeria was continuing diplomatic engagements with South Africa, noting that discussions were ongoing between officials of both countries to address the situation and prevent further attacks.
“What Nigeria will do in terms of bilateral relations, we will hear from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and maybe even the President. But honestly, enough is enough; enough really has to be enough,” she said.
She disclosed that more evacuation flights are expected in the coming days as Nigerian authorities work to bring home citizens who wish to leave South Africa amid growing fears over their safety.
“We are glad this first batch is home, and we are going to have, I think, three to five batches,” she stated.
Several returnees recounted painful experiences, alleging that they suffered discrimination, segregation and degrading treatment. Some claimed migrant families were isolated while their children were separated from others because of their nationality.
The latest incidents have renewed concerns over xenophobic violence in South Africa, where foreign nationals from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique have repeatedly faced attacks over the years.
Successive Nigerian governments have condemned such attacks and demanded stronger action from Pretoria, insisting that African migrants deserve protection and equal treatment regardless of their country of origin.
