Cybastion has announced a landmark $170 million partnership with Angola’s national telecommunications provider, Angola Telecom E.P., aimed at strengthening the country’s digital infrastructure and cybersecurity resilience.
This collaboration is part of Cybastion’s broader Digital Fast Track initiative, designed to accelerate Africa’s digital transformation and position Angola as a regional leader in the digital economy. The initiative emphasizes building cybersecurity capabilities, enhancing digital sovereignty, and developing local talent through comprehensive training programs.
An initial $25 million will be dedicated to establishing a national cybersecurity agency and launching cybersecurity training in partnership with the Cisco Networking Academy. Additionally, the investment will fund critical infrastructure projects, including the deployment of undersea cables connecting Luanda to the port city of Lobito, significantly improving Angola’s connectivity and digital backbone.
This strategic move builds on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed earlier this year during the Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, reflecting Angola’s commitment to leveraging advanced technologies for national development, regional competitiveness, and digital inclusion.
“The deal is about enhancing Angola’s digital transformation. It will also facilitate the deployment of undersea cables from Luanda to Lobito to improve national connectivity,” said Thierry Wandji Ketchiozo, CEO of Cybastion.
