Luanda – the Heart of Angola

Luanda – Angola’s Capital

Luanda, the capital of Angola, is a dynamic and rapidly growing metropolitan center located on the Atlantic coast. With more than 8 million inhabitants, it is the country’s largest city and one of the largest in all of Africa.

Economic Center
Luanda is the economic engine of Angola. It is home to most of the oil industry, which forms the backbone of the country’s economy, as well as major ports, financial institutions, and commercial hubs. Thanks to its strategic location, the city is a key logistics hub for international trade.

Modernization and Development
In recent years, Luanda has undergone extensive modernization. New residential complexes, business districts, and infrastructure are being built to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. A significant example is the satellite city of Quilamba, developed near Luanda as part of an affordable housing program.

The city is also becoming a center for international investment. Foreign companies are opening local branches, and Luanda is establishing itself as a gateway to Angola and the wider region.

Cultural and Social Life
Luanda is not only an economic hub but also a place of vibrant cultural life. The city is renowned for its music, dance, and cuisine, which reflect both African and Portuguese influences. Visitors can explore historic landmarks, admire modern architecture, and enjoy beautiful beaches in the surrounding area.

Business Opportunities
With a growing population and demand for modern services, Luanda offers broad opportunities for European entrepreneurs—ranging from construction and infrastructure, to energy and technology, to services in education and healthcare.

Luanda is a symbol of the new Angola—dynamic, modern, and open to the world.
