Space42 has signed a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Angola’s Military Intelligence and Security Service (SISM)—this landmark agreement was formalized during the state visit of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to the Republic of Angola, following an invitation from Angolan President João Lourenço.
The five-year strategic partnership covers advanced technology collaboration across multiple domains. The agreement encompasses satellite communications, Earth Observation (EO), artificial intelligence (AI), high-altitude platforms, national security drones, border control solutions, and command and control center development.
The MoU signing represents a significant milestone in UAE-Angola bilateral relations, taking place during President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed‘s official state visit to strengthen ties between the two nations. The agreement was signed in Luanda in the presence of Space42’s Chief Commercial Officer, Sulaiman Al Ali, and senior Angolan military officials.
Space42 already maintains a strong operational presence in Angola, providing 100% coverage of the country through its YahClick satellite broadband service. This existing infrastructure foundation will be significantly enhanced with upcoming expanded solutions and services from the advanced Thuraya-4 satellite system, demonstrating Space42’s long-term commitment to the Angolan market and making this MOU a natural progression of the company’s growing relationship.
