ISPSongo is a public higher education institution established in 2008, located in the province of Tete. The courses of Electrical Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, and Engineering Technical term are some of the courses mixed at the Polytechnic Institute of Songo.

MoRENet is a nationwide data communication network that connects academic institutions to higher education, research and technical and vocational education, and proposes to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to facilitate the exchange and dissemination of research, reduce the gap between researchers, teachers, students and other academics and bring scientific institutions closer to the citizen and the private sector.

With this milestone, MoRENet takes steps to reach the goals proposed for the academy and hopes to achieve in 2019 more institutions in the country linked to its network.
