Discovery Business Industrial Zone
– Real Estate & Property Development –

As a valued partner to the government, ETT is aligned with the Timor-Leste Strategic Development Plan 2011–2030 and aims to help shape policies and laws that support a vibrant private sector, drive economic diversification, sustain growth, and result in increased well-being for the Timorese people.

Now in its third decade of business in Timor-Leste, ETT is diversifying into real estate and the provision of private-sector infrastructure to meet growing local and foreign investment demands.

Under our newly established Discovery Development business, overseen by director Samitha Aluwihare, our first construction project is the country’s most modern mixed-use international standard business industrial zone.
