The Oecusse-Ambeno International Industrial Economic Zone (Portuguese: Região Administrativa Especial Oé-Cusse Ambeno) located in Oecusse, East Timor. The local government aims to develop this zone as an integrated entertainment and digital economy hub.
The special economic zone operates under a distinct legal framework established by East Timor's 2017 Special Economic Zone Act, which grants tax incentives including a 10-year corporate tax holiday and streamlined foreign investment procedures.
Oecusse, also known as Oecusse-Ambeno (Portuguese: Oé-Cusse Ambeno; Tetum: Oecussi Ambeno) and formerly just Ambeno, is an exclave, municipality (formerly a district) and the only Special Administrative Region (SAR) of Timor-Leste.
Located on the north coast of the western portion of Timor, Oecusse is separated from the rest of Timor-Leste by West Timor, Indonesia, which is part of the province of East Nusa Tenggara. West Timor surrounds Oecusse on all sides except the north, where the exclave faces the Savu Sea.
