About Us
Building Strategic Partnerships for Angola’s Sustainable Minerals Future
We support companies, investors, project owners, and strategic partners through project identification, market-entry planning, commercial introductions, local engagement, due diligence coordination, and transaction support.
Angola and the broader Lobito Corridor region offer significant potential for mineral development, infrastructure investment, and regional economic growth. DAT helps clients navigate these opportunities by connecting qualified international partners with credible local projects and aligning commercial objectives with Angola’s development priorities. Our role is to provide the market knowledge, relationships, coordination, and strategic guidance required to move opportunities from initial engagement through evaluation, negotiation, and implementation.
Why DAT
DAT combines an international business perspective with a deep cultural, commercial and geopolitical understanding of Angola.
We understand that successful cross-border business requires more than access. It requires knowing:
-
Who matters.
-
What is credible.
-
How the market operates.
-
What questions should be asked.
-
What needs to happen next.
Areas of Focus
Minerals & Mining
Supporting international companies evaluating opportunities across Angola's developing mineral sector and the broader commercial ecosystem surrounding those projects.
​
Infrastructure & Logistics
Connecting companies with opportunities related to transportation, logistics, infrastructure and the movement of goods through Angola and the region.
Industrial Development
Supporting relationships involving technology, equipment, engineering, processing and other capabilities required for industrial growth.
​
Cross-Border Partnerships
Helping credible Angolan and international companies identify areas of mutual commercial interest and develop appropriate business relationships.
Working in Both Directions
DAT is a bridge between Angola and international markets.
We support international companies seeking to understand and enter Angola.
At the same time, we help credible Angolan companies and project sponsors navigate the international business environment and identify relevant commercial relationships in the United States and other markets.
Our role is to help the right opportunities reach the right counterparties — with better preparation on both sides.
