Forbes announced Wednesday the launch of its latest local-language edition, Forbes Portuguese Africa, in partnership with ZAP Publishing.

“Everyone is aware of the valuable information provided by Forbes, and we are certain that Forbes will become the number one business magazine in Angola and African Portuguese speaking countries,” said ZAP Publishing’s Jorge Pereira in a statement. “It is our privilege to become a trusted partner of Forbes.’
