IV. GOVERNANCE
The most relevant entities and the important role they play in relation to the ICT market are:
a)
Innovation Directorate General of Telecommunications and (DNIT) - Contract and supervision
of the concession of the Basic Network Assets, Technology Park or other state assets that are
keys to the purpose of the implementation of the Cape Verde Digital Strategy, Coordination of
National Cybersecurity and implementation of the national CERT [20];
b) Multisectoral Regulatory Agency for the Economy (ARME) - Independent Regulatory,
Infrastructure Public Key (Root Certification) and management of domain .CV
c) Technology Park Management Entity (EGPT) - Promoting and revitalizing programs II and III of
training and market, bringing together international partners in new models of financing and
public-private partnerships, for "instead of making, make happen", in a kind of management of
"specialized condominium " where the actors are not part of the Park's management, but they
feel good in the Park because they have a" good ecosystem " in which to play their role. [16]
The role of the EGPT has been assumed by the NOSi which was also designated as Technological Park
Execution Agency (construction), by Resolution No. 22/2016 of March 7 [19], but will gradually move to
the new entity as soon as constituted.
The initial sustainability of the Park was ensured through the "Castelon Vale - Brain estate to real estate"
program - 42 hectares of contiguous land adjacent to the Technological Park (preventing post-park real
estate speculation) and agreement with Camara Municipal da Praia for sale of the Lots and the deposit
of the resulting amounts in the account of the Technological Park opened in the Treasury / BCV.
Some projects of the Park were designed and others even started before the end of the construction
phase of the Technological Park, in order to guarantee the fluidity of the actions in the "day-after"
construction:
•
•
•
•
Weblab - Joint Project Technological Park - Ministry of Education
Castelon Vale - Joint Project Technological Park - Camara Municipal da Praia
NOSiAkademia - Joint Project of the Technological Park - NOSi
TICSEED - Joint Technology Park Project – NOSi
Companies created in the process of "decommissioning" of NOSi will be "housed" in the Park at low
rental cost. There is also the alternative of NOSiAkademia itself be transformed into the Park
Management Entity, with some initial international partnership (coaching).
