Angolan entrepreneur Angelo Octavio decided to delve into the Healthcare sector to manufacture a new kind of disposable gloves (latex powder-free, Vinyl, Nitrile), in order to ease the high demand of hospital ready-to-use materials in Angola, and hopefully contribute to the decrease of public health risks experienced in public hospitals.

His company, AAEI Empreendimentos Lda came about during his first second year doing Chemical Engineering in Angola. “I realized that getting a degree was not going to fulfill me because I wanted to think and be part of the solution that could solve some of the most basic problems in Luanda,” he says.

It was there that he met one of his business partners, who would join him to bring life to some projects that could bring some solutions to common problems.
