Angola is scaling its push for nationwide connectivity, with 37 companies now participating in the Conecta Project a government backed initiative aimed at expanding satellite internet access across underserved regions.
The project focuses on deploying satellite based connectivity to bridge infrastructure gaps, particularly in rural and remote areas where traditional broadband rollout remains limited. By bringing in multiple private sector players, Angola is accelerating deployment while fostering competition and innovation in the connectivity space.
This move reflects a broader shift toward alternative infrastructure models in Africa, where satellite internet is increasingly seen as a viable solution for last mile connectivity challenges.
If successfully executed, the Conecta Project could significantly expand internet access, support digital inclusion, and unlock new economic opportunities across Angola’s evolving digital landscape.
