Abstract: This article systematizes the arrival in Mozambique of innovations related to the technological revolutions. Mozambique's specificities are investigated in four sections. The first presents a theoretical framework. The second section systematizes the arrival of new technologies related to the five Big Bangs in Mozambique. The third section focuses on the relationship between changes in the country's political organization as steps toward the evolution of absorptive capacity. The fourth section addresses new possibilities for assimilating technologies opened up by the leap in absorptive capacity resulting from political changes—independence in 1975, the end of the civil war in 1992, and the end of apartheid in South Africa in 1994. The conclusion explores implications for public policy.
