SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGY: TECHNOLOGICAL DIPLOMACY BETWEEN BRAZIL AND ANGOLA

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the interrelationship between science, technique, technology, and technological diplomacy in the context of Brazil–Angola relations. The research focuses on bilateral cooperation initiatives across multiple sectors, aiming to promote mutual development. The influence of scientific knowledge, the transfer of Brazilian technologies, and the application of specific techniques in areas such as science, education, agriculture, energy, and civil construction have provided opportunities to strengthen cooperative ties between the two countries. Brazil has played a significant role by transferring technology, fostering human resource development, and investing in various sectors in Angola. In turn, Angola has created the conditions necessary for the implementation of development-relevant projects, with the participation of Brazilian companies. Based on a qualitative approach and bibliographic research methods, the study seeks to understand how technological diplomacy has contributed to strengthening the relations between a South American and an African country, both united by the Portuguese language and members of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), while fostering innovation and technical-scientific capacity building.
