Kenneth Hogrefe compartilhou issoSix Months On: Turning momentum into measurable outcomes Since our Gulf delegation wrap-up 🇦🇴 🇸🇦 🇦🇪 , we’ve grown deep relationships across Saudi Arabia and the UAE, relationships that are now actively bridging qualified African projects with growth capital. Over the past months, we’ve expanded project pipelines, and accelerated investment readiness. The result: high-quality African opportunities are increasingly resonating with global investors, and commitments made during the delegation are translating into scoped pilot projects moving from concept to execution. This is more than connecting regions, it’s about building sustainable pathways for African growth through trusted partnerships and disciplined capital alignment. Grateful to our partners in the Gulf for their continued collaboration, and to the African teams driving projects forward with ambition and clarity. #AfricaInvestment #Angola #UAE #Investment

Kenneth Hogrefe compartilhou issoAngola Means Business: The 2026 investment outlook demands realism Inflation at 15.7% and rates at 17.5% keep pressure on domestic demand, while currency volatility and fiscal reliance on external financing remain key risks. The $100B energy pipeline signals growth, but execution challenges and slow diversification beyond oil limit momentum. Yet, for investors willing to take a calculated approach, Angola offers interesting opportunities particularly in bonds, energy infrastructure, and select non-oil sectors. Success will depend on disciplined risk management and long-term perspective. #Angola #InvestmentOutlook #angolameansbusiness #EmergingMarkets

Kenneth Hogrefe compartilhou issoLast year, I wrote an opinion piece in Forbes África Lusófona on Luanda’s transformation into a mega city. With its population now surpassing 10 million, Luanda stands at a pivotal moment. This rapid growth brings immense opportunities but also pressing challenges in infrastructure, housing, education, healthcare, employment, and sanitation. Addressing these issues will require strategic investment, sustainable planning, and collaboration across government, private sector, and community. The future of Luanda depends on how we rise to meet these challenges. #FAngola #Luanda #UrbanDevelopment #AfricaMeansBusiness #ImpactInvestment

Kenneth Hogrefe compartilhou issoAn impactful evening at Hotel EPIC SANA Luanda Last month, we hosted the first Angola Means Business event of 2026 at the iconic Hotel EPIC SANA Luanda, a night that brought together leading voices from Angola’s business community, international partners, and investors. The atmosphere was electric: conversations flowed, connections were made, and new opportunities began to take shape. With the TTIEpod takeover by Kamal D’Nigel, we captured diverse perspectives and reflections that highlighted not only the energy of the evening but also the promise of what lies ahead. This gathering reaffirmed our mission: to showcase Angola’s economic potential and foster meaningful partnerships. As we look toward the rest of 2026, the opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and growth are immense and Angola Means Business will continue to be a platform where these possibilities come to life. Here’s to building bridges, unlocking opportunities, and shaping the future together. #AngolaMeansBusiness #EpicSanaLuanda #Networking #Angola

Kenneth Hogrefe compartilhou issoAngoCasa Workshop: Empowering Real Estate Agencies in Angola Last week, we had the privilege of hosting an exclusive workshop for our AngoCasa clients. The session was designed to equip real estate agencies with practical strategies to maximize results on our platform from boosting visibility and enhancing property listings to connecting more effectively with buyers and renters. A key takeaway was the importance of keeping portfolios updated and promptly deactivating unavailable listings. This ensures credibility, improves client trust, and strengthens the overall performance of agencies on AngoCasa. The energy, collaboration, and insights shared were truly inspiring. Together, we are shaping the future of real estate in Angola. #AngoCasa #Angola #RealEstate #Innovation #Growth #Trust

Kenneth Hogrefe gostou dissoKenneth Hogrefe gostou dissoSpent a couple of great days in Copenhagen with the Nordic Sales Development Program (SDP) team. A really good mix of commercial discussions, new ideas, useful training and conversations that somehow managed to continue through every break. Always a good sign. It was also great to meet the broader commercial team across Accenture Netherlands & Nordics, and I had the pleasure of moderating a panel discussion with our commercial leadership. Thanks to everyone who joined, contributed and made the days both useful and genuinely enjoyable. A really good couple of days in Copenhagen and a nice reminder that even a packed agenda works well when the company is good.

Kenneth Hogrefe gostou dissoKenneth Hogrefe gostou dissoZAMBIA—I've just spent two weeks in the country, first in the Copperbelt, and then in the capital, Lusaka. You can read my observations from Kitwe here: https://shorturl.at/3CSru; below are my key takeaways from my time in Lusaka. As always, a big thank you to everyone who took the time to meet and to chat. It was great to be back on the ground after three years. POLITICS—Incumbent President Hakainde Hichilema is all but assured to win the upcoming presidential election, which takes place in August. His path to victory is mainly centred around the fact that there is limited opposition - he has done a really good job of sidelining opponents, even within his own party, the UPND. Of course, this is not to take away from those that are pleased with how he has stabilised the economy and cleaned up certain government departments. But I expect there to be low voter turnout relative to the last general election (70% of registered voters). And far more interesting will be the parliamentary result - the party as a whole is much less popular than its president. ECONOMICS—Certainly macroeconomic fundamentals have improved since the early days of the HH administration, most notably debt stabilisation. Zambia passed its IMF reviews with flying colours and there is strong investor appetite for its government bonds, as evidenced in the February auction. But there are already signs of fiscal slippage which, in between its breathless praise for the HH administration, the IMF has already flagged. This is not unusual though in an election year. To maintain these elevated spending levels, a new IMF programme will likely be signed only after August. LOADSHEDDING—From 4 hours of power a day across the country for over a year, to zero cuts by the end of 2025, the turnaround seems miraculous. It is partly attributed to improved levels in the Kariba dam, from which Zambia draws most of its hydroelectric power, but the full answer is less straightforward. Zambia has increased imports of electricity from the Southern African Power Pool, which is costly - well, economically. Politically, it is necessary. As a result, I expect loadshedding to return a few months post election. The country remains highly exposed to falling dam levels, and while there has been solar generation added, this is minimal and has not been matched by investment into transmission and distribution infrastructure. US RELATIONS—Despite Zambia not yet signing the crudely-named health-for-minerals deal, talks between the two governments remain ongoing. For all the outcry in Western media about the proposed deal, the Zambia government is not opposed to it, but it does want to tweak some of the terms. And it is likely to be signed at some point - just not now. #Zambia #Hichilema #PoliticalRisk #IMF #Africa

Kenneth Hogrefe gostou dissoKenneth Hogrefe gostou dissoI’m currently looking for a Project Assistant Intern to join my team at One World Media Corp in Luanda. This is a great opportunity for someone at the beginning of their career who is interested in media, communications, or international projects, and wants real exposure working alongside key stakeholders in Angola.

The role involves supporting coordination of interviews and meetings, assisting with research and admin tasks, and being part of different on-the-ground activities with our team. Important: this is an internship/entry-level position. Candidates with engineering or unrelated backgrounds, as well as senior profiles, will not be considered.

WILL TECH INVESTMENTS GET A BOOST FOLLOWING ANGOLA’S OIL CRISIS?
Ver publicaçãoAs you are reading this article, the spring of 2016 saw the Angolan government engaging the International Monetary Fund in talks for an extension of a loan program that will span three years. This loan will be financed through IMF’s Extended Fund Facility Program, and will possibly cumulate to an annual of $1.5 billion, bringing this to $4.5 billion for the requested three years.
