The Oecusse Digital Centre: A Groundbreaking Development in the Heart of Timor-Leste

In addition to its achievements in the gaming sector, CMC is currently progressing with the establishment of the Oecusse Digital Centre (ODC), located in the Special Administrative Region of Oecusse-Ambeno. The project, which sits on a plot of land approximately 3km from the Oecusse International Airport, is expected to have a Gross Development Value (GDV) of USD 550 million. Once completed, ODC will feature state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a corporate office building, business hotel accommodations, entertainment and leisure facilities, and a cutting-edge data center. This ambitious development will create a dynamic environment where business, technology, and lifestyle converge, fostering innovation and cross-sector collaboration. The inclusion of a high-tech data center places ODC at the forefront of the region’s digital transformation, addressing the rising need for secure and advanced data management solutions.

CMC is also in the process of delivering accommodation for up to 2,000 people, with construction planned to start in Q4 2024 and operations expected by Q1 2025. With a master plan to eventually accommodate up to 20,000 people, the ODC represents one of the largest developments and investments by CMC in Oecusse, setting a new benchmark for economic and infrastructure growth in the region.

Driving Economic Growth and Global Connectivity

ODC’s comprehensive development strategy is designed to spur regional economic growth, attract international investments, and support the digital ecosystem in Oecusse. Through this integrated approach, ODC aims to be a driving force in bridging the gap between local opportunities and the global business landscape, positioning itself as a critical player in regional development.
