INTIC tackles challenges and promotes innovation
Mozambique’s ICT sector is expanding, but problems remain. Extending infrastructure is costly, rural areas still lack reliable access, and many institutions do not have enough trained ICT staff. On top of this, security and regulatory questions are becoming harder to ignore as more services move online.
INTIC’s answer has been to create frameworks for digital inclusion and e-government, and to raise public awareness about ICT. It works with partners like MoRENet to widen broadband access for schools and universities, making sure education and research benefit from the digital shift.
The institute also pays attention to global changes. Cloud services, digital IDs, e-learning and fintech platforms are becoming part of everyday life. INTIC guides these developments by encouraging adoption but also putting rules in place to protect users and national interests.
