COPIA Group of Companies, an Angolan engineering and technology company operating across the energy, oil and gas, mining and infrastructure sectors, has established COPIA Energy Services Namibia in Windhoek, marking a key step in its Southern African growth strategy.
The launch coincides with the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition 2026 (18–20 August, Windhoek), where COPIA is exhibiting at Stand D05. Founder and CEO Eng. Adilson Nelumba is speaking in the session on independents and new entrants unlocking value in frontier basins, while Eng. Edmilson Delfim Praia, Director of Research, Development and Technology, joins the technical session on appraisal, reservoir engineering and field development.
COPIA delivers engineering consultancy, inspection and supervision, project management, industrial services and digital solutions for complex energy projects, including its proprietary COPIA SEIS and COPIA DynamicSim technologies, which apply advanced data and artificial intelligence to energy-sector operations.
“Our expansion into Namibia is more than entering a new market. It is about building relationships, sharing knowledge and demonstrating that African companies can develop solutions for African energy markets,” said Eng. Adilson Nelumba, Chairman of the Board, COPIA Group of Companies.
“Africa has the talent, technical expertise and entrepreneurial capacity to develop solutions for its own markets,” Nelumba said.
With growing exploration activity placing Namibia among Africa’s most closely watched emerging energy markets, COPIA’s Windhoek presence positions the company to work directly with Namibian stakeholders and build long-term local partnerships based on knowledge transfer, skills development and technology sharing.
The expansion reflects a simple principle: African companies can build for Africa, innovate for Africa and compete beyond Africa.
