Oecusse: 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’s premier hub for digital innovation, sustainable tourism, and green energy.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, at the heart of this transformation lies the Oecusse Digital Centre (ODC) Smart Hub-a pioneering 140-acre integrated development that merges the iconic Oe-Upu Hotel with cutting-edge digital infrastructure, forming the country’s first future-ready smart city. This vibrant destination will feature five-star accommodations, curated retail and dining, wellness zones, MICE-ready facilities, and regulated entertainment precincts-all seamlessly connected in a self-sustaining, modern ecosystem.
