It aimed to explore emerging opportunities in the African digital market, green energy and digital solutions for administrative modernization.

According to the source, one of the highlights of Minister of State Adão de Almeida's agenda is the signing, scheduled for Wednesday, of a Memorandum of Understanding between Angola's IMA and the Estonian e-Governance Academy.
