The Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (ARCEP) of the Republic of Chad and the Space Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan (Azercosmos), a company under AZCON Holding, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) focused on cooperation in digital transformation, innovation centres, and the export of digital products.
The primary objective of the memorandum is to promote economic, industrial, scientific, technical, and technological cooperation in satellite services and space activities. The document outlines a collaborative framework for developing the space ecosystem, spanning strategic consulting, satellite management, and satellite operations.
The memorandum places special emphasis on education and human capital development, recognising the critical importance of building local expertise in space technologies. This includes implementing educational programmes for teachers and students via the Azercosmos SPACE Academy, organising summer schools, and executing satellite programmes for schools through joint activities.
This educational component aims to strengthen Chad’s technical workforce and ensure sustainable development of the country’s space capabilities through knowledge transfer and skills development initiatives.
