Smart Hub stands as a national model for inclusive growth, digital innovation, and strategic foreign investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a landmark display of visionary public-private collaboration, the Special Administrative Region of Oecusse-Ambeno (RAEOA) and Core Management Corporation (CMC) have unveiled a bold, multi-sector development strategy to position Oecusse as Timor-Leste\u2019s premier hub for digital innovation, sustainable tourism and green energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the heart of this transformation lies the Oecusse Digital Centre (ODC) Smart Hub – a pioneering 140-acre integrated development forming the country\u2019s first future-ready smart city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ODC will drive Timor-Leste\u2019s leap into the digital economy, housing the nation\u2019s first licensed online support and international call centre operations, advanced data centres, tech parks, global education and medical campuses and smart residential communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Designed to accommodate up to 150,000 workers and residents, the Smart Hub is said to stand as a national model for inclusive growth, digital innovation, and strategic foreign investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To power this transformation, RAEOA and CMC have partnered with Weidun Energy to develop Timor-Leste\u2019s largest renewable energy project – a 50 MW solar farm designed to deliver clean, stable, and scalable energy to the ODC and surrounding infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the first agreement signed with the Government of RAEOA, Phase 1 (4 MW) has already commenced and will secure energy needs for critical infrastructure, while reinforcing Timor-Leste\u2019s commitment to sustainable national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
H.E. Rog\u00e9rio Lobato, President, RAEOA, said: “This marks a defining moment for Oecusse and for Timor-Leste. This partnership will generate thousands of local jobs, uplift our communities and significantly raise the standard of living for our people. We are building a new national narrative – one rooted in innovation, sustainability and international cooperation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Ken Lim, Chairman, of CMC, said: “This project is not just about powering infrastructure – it\u2019s about securing the future of Oecusse. The solar farm will provide clean, reliable energy for the ODC and future developments such as data centres, while creating jobs and attracting responsible global capital. And this is just the beginning \u2014 several more high-impact projects and international collaborations are in the pipeline and will be unveiled in the coming months.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guo Chen, CEO, Weidun Energy, said: “<\/em>We are proud to work alongside RAEOA and CMC to deliver the country\u2019s most significant green energy project. With Phase 1 already underway, we\u2019re deploying scalable solar solutions to power sustainable progress \u2014 not just for infrastructure, but for the future of Timor-Leste.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n CMC\u2019s bold and integrated vision has sparked global investor interest. A landmark joint venture is now nearing finalisation with a world-renowned international conglomerate. The partnership will co-develop next-generation smart infrastructure and high-capacity data centres within the ODC – \u00a0placing\u00a0Oecusse at the forefront of Southeast Asia\u2019s digital frontier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Smart Hub stands as a national model for inclusive growth, digital innovation, and strategic foreign investment.
